Conservation
A small portion of rare old growth cottonwood riparian habitat adjacent to Trout Creek is protected. The cottonwoods and associated wetland thickets provide food and shelter for a variety of birds, insects and small mammals. Birds seen in the area include the northern oriole, warbling vireos and the Lewis's woodpecker.[2]

gollark: You'd need a way to somehow be able to have some of the profit from new fundamental stuff go back to its original investors.
gollark: Probably some kind of long-term research investment things?
gollark: I think with better coordinating/financial structures in place we could probably have better encouragement to do fundamental stuff.
gollark: And the government funding means we still get that, so it seems fine.
