WHO WE ARE

 let's build a riverscape restoration team together

the principals

Anabranch Solutions was founded and is owned by three professors in the Watershed Sciences Department at Utah State University: Stephen Bennett, Nick Bouwes and Joe Wheaton. Each of these principals are experienced designers and always eager to jump in the stream and get muddy and build structures.

affiliates

We have several affiliates who we bring in as contributors on specific projects. Most of these affiliates we have worked with on previous projects and are researchers or consultants, and some  own their own consulting firms. They each bring a wealth of experience and expertise to our team and our clients. They cover a range of skill and are experienced in restoration design, conservation management, wetland delineation, and/or planning.
