An anabranch is a secondary or alternative channel that branches off from a river or stream and later rejoins the main stem channel downstream. Anabranches were far more common in many rivers and streams historically. Anabranches are hotspots of biotic activity and a hallmark of healthy, dynamic and heterogeneous systems.  At Anabranch Solutions, we tackle riverscape restoration challenges differently than most. We look to rivers and ecosystem engineers for clues about how to harness these alternative solutions that may seem to diverge from standard practices, but we think will ultimately converge on more efficient and self-sustaining solutions to the challenges we face.
