The TS will spread its light on the void Silverbow Creek Floodplain, where they will be planting up to 20,000 trees during their stay.
Tailings and Mine wastes have contaminated the creek's floodplain since the late 1800s, originating in the nearby and (in)famous town of Butte, Montana. The toxicity of the contamination has reduced wildlife to nearly 0, for a range of 23 miles, making this the largest restoration project known to exists. The TS is excited to take part in this unprecedented effort.
