| Title: |
Status of Bird and Vegetation Communities on Mined and
Unmined Riparian Corridors |
| Abstract: |
Data collection will be conducted on mined streams to determine
bird species composition in relation to habitat features on Bear Creek.
Data will also be collected on Clear Creek, an unmined stream that is planned
for mining, to compare pre- and post-mining communities of bird and riparian
vegetation species. |
