Abstract
There are 120 river miles included in the Clark Fork Superfund Complex. A large number of restoration projects have put many miles back into play for wildlife and recreation. Monitoring of the restored area is crucial to evaluate the success of the work performed. Gary will talk about the different phases of the Clark Fork remediation/restoration and how bird species are responding to the change in plant communities.
