Jeff Ryan-Stream Functional Facelift Guy!

CD Supervisor, Jeff Ryan, was featured recently in an article in the Helena Independent Record for a willow lift project that he helped to install on Little Prickly Pear Creek. See more about the project here.  Jeff has now assisted with a number of these projects across the state.

It is estimated that about 80% of the willows that were used have begun to grow. This should give the bank a more permanent stability and should save the grazing and hay ground

Another recent project that the Conservation District was involved in was the Prickly Pear project.  That project was a joint project with a lot of partners.  Information on that project can be found here.
