Laramie County Mariah Pasture Rehabilitation

The Laramie County Conservation District (LCCD), in collaboration with the City of Cheyenne, is restoring hydrologic and ecological function in Sand Creek, a tributary of the South Platte River. The project involves dredging a sediment-filled reservoir on city-owned land to restore its storage capacity for recreation, irrigation, and stock watering. Additionally, LCCD will install Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs) along 1,800 feet of Sand Creek to improve floodplain connectivity, increase groundwater recharge, and enhance aquatic habitat. By addressing sediment buildup and stream channelization, the project aims to stabilize streambanks, support riparian vegetation, and provide long-term ecological benefits for water resources in southeastern Wyoming.
