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.
