Beaver River

Beaver River
Rising in the mountains of central Utah, along the Wasatch Front, and flowing westward into the Great Basin, where it originally petered out into the Sevier Desert. It seldom gets that far now because of diversions for irrigation. This area here has been the subject of a riparian restoration effort, mostly involving the removal of non-native shore vegetation. Near Minersville, Utah.

;) It's evidently a problem elsewhere in the US, but it may be too dry here. I hadn't run into it, anyway. The invasive riparian trees they try to remove are tamarisk (a.k.a. salt cedar, Tamarix spp.) and Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia). Both crowd out native cottonwood and willow, and both, of course, were originally imported with The Best of Intentions--
