    I wish that I could be a part of this awesome effort. Jordan may seem to ramble on, but I don’t know anyone who can speak on one topic for so long with no script. Thanks to all involved, from Australia 🇦🇺

    Trout Unlimited likes to restore brook trout to a stream but usually don't restore the food chain needed for BIG brook trout. So hopefully you can restore native frogs, crayfish, minnow like fish, salamanders, shrews and other native aquatic inhabitants in streams in this area. Also, timber on the stream bank provides habitant for small mammals, snakes, toads, lizards, birds, etc. which make good food for BIG brook trout. Downstream from timber on the stream bank, floods deposit alluvium that is needed by the river tree's seeds to germinate in the riparian zone. I'm glad to see your planting willows along the stream as the leaves, seeds and small branches from river trees provide up to 80% of the nutrients needed by the invertebrates in the stream. Also, during the molting stage of mayflies the willows are where the mayflies perch while molting. Female bumblebees hibernate in stream banks over the Winter and the willow pollen is the first pollen used by the newly awoken female bumblebees after a long, cold Winter. P.S. Do river trees like the cottonwood and willow release the large amount of water stored in their trunks and roots back into the groundwater in the Fall before going into dormancy for the cold Winter? (Water in tree trunks freezes and expands in Winter?)

    Good work from a terrible base! And terrific to recycle the old spoils commercially. But a very great deal of work remaining to rebuild the riparian environment.

    Those rock piles contain a LOT of Gold. Is it being harvested while you are doing this? I used to live there.

    Beavers unfortunately need a certain amount of already existing riparian habitat to establish themselves.

    What are the types of trees that you will be planting. Hopefully they will be the types beavers like to use. Beavers will be a great help in developing wetlands.
