Since the post-mining land use will be "Wildlife Habitat", the <br />use of forbs and wildflowers that create bird and other wildlife food should be considered, <br />as well as the planting of such shrubs as serviceberry, currents, mountain mahogany and <br />similar "wildlife friendly species. Consideration should be given to providing occasional <br />supplemental water to establish and maintain all of these reclamation plantings. Shrubs <br />or trees that are planted will need adequate protection-fencing or tree guards-from <br />grazing from deer or elk. <br />Contact me for additional information about typical reclamation techniques if you have any <br />questions. <br />" 1 <br />Leon S.
