Unfortunately, not every large mining company has the ethical backbone to truly be called a “steward” of the resources they pull from the earth, especially when it comes to what’s left over when they’re done.

A majority of Wisconsin’s 115 fish species, including native brook trout, need to move throughout a watershed seasonally or at varying stages in their lifecycle to feed, find cooler water, avoid predators and reach spawning habitat. Research conducted in the early 1990s in Northern Wisconsin documented the seasonal movement of trout. When water temperatures reached
Population viability analysis (PVA) is a powerful conservation tool, but one remaining unapproachable for many species because of the amount of data required to build useful models. This is especially true for species occurring in multiple populations, each of which requires a separate PVA. With NASA and other partner funding, Trout Unlimited and a host
