Tales on th Smith Fork tells the story of a project to rehabilitate a riparian area along a stream at a ranch in western Colorado using low-tech process-based restoration and the installation of beaver dam analogs. Produced by the Colorado Farm & Food Alliance and filmmaker David Jacobson, this film was made possible with a grant from the LOR Foundation: “We work with people in rural places to improve quality of life.” Thank you Rancho Largo, David and the LOR Foundation for making this work possible.
