IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Watershed restoration-Worked with a conservation minded ranching family to begin a restoration project to improve water quality and the fishery in Miller Creek. The project will rebuild a healthy riparian area by adding native shrubs and willows to the streambank, providing shade and habitat, and installing fencing to keep cattle and deer out of the stream and protect plants. Also completed work on the East Fork of the Bitterroot River at the Lazy J. Cross.
