__ __ - Ten ~C~Yf' S~a'YI~~~l~~ T'IVFR PC~CK <br />SIiis (Sweetwater County) have <br />helped to improve aquatic habitats for <br />;.. sport fish.

Sport <br />fish harvest and biomass in the vicinity of <br />the sills improved markedly in the first <br />year after sills were installed. <br />`TE_F. )tiILLT-F~i Vr~F"I7~7T~S, a <br />key component of the Greenbelt <br />Master Plan for the City of Green <br />River, (Sweetwater County) restored <br />45 acres of old river channels and <br />oxbows into functioning perennial <br />wetlands. This partnership among <br />local government, state and federal <br />agencies, local industry and private <br />citizens was an effort to maintain and <br />enhance the values of the river <br />through the town. The project has <br />created habitats for shorebirds and <br />waterfowl along the Green River. The <br />city plans to develop the area as a outdoor education site for local schools. A future trail <br />will link the wetlands with other city parks, trails, and wildlife habitats throughout the <br />Agreenbelt. <br />
