Matheson Wetlands Preserve these days. Not only are migratory birds returning from southern climes and leopard frogs awakening from their winter slumber, other activities are taking place as well. Utah Power and Williams Pipeline Company have both been cutting vegetation in them right-of-wa- for fire ys control and visual inspection, respectively; crews from the local firm Wildland Scapes are fin- ishing their revegetation project; In its own effort, the Consera vancy hired the Flame-N-Gos, Utah State Prison crew, to thin out Russian olive trees to improve habitat and reduce the fire potential. Under Utah Powers transmission lines some large cottonwood trees were growing beneath the power lines. Instead of felling the trees, the company girdled them. They remain standing dead trees for wildlife habitat. The genesis for the effort was the installation of natural gas pipeline unnew a Preserve in Williams the der Pipeline Companys easement in 1999. As part of the Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit, an innovative underground, horizontal drilling technique was used in the delineated wetland areas of the preserve. This restricted important habitat disturbance to the drill site. On the north end, through tamarisk habitat, high-voltag- e method a traditional open-cuof all the was used.

Despite the individuality of each site, there are certain commonalities to reclamation. The ground is carefully prepared by raking, pulling weeds, and contouring the soil to avoid erosion.
