The benefits to having Conrow Creek extend its flow is beneficial in a number of ways. It would provide water to stock and wildlife. It could help mitigate fire potential, provide good habitat for birds. This creek runs, is then underground, and then reappears numerous times down the mountain. There is great potential for many BDAs, there is a large amount of downed trees, good aspen growth, etc.
The costs would be mostly sweat equity. Chainsaws, fuel, and time.
To implement this project, it would probably take several summers of building BDAs, studying their effects, and possibly looking into beaver relocation.
