BHWC Monthly Meeting: August 2022

The Big Hole Watershed Committee's August monthly meeting was held Wednesday, August 17th, 2022 at the Divide Grange Hall. It was also available via Zoom thanks to a partnership with Southern Montana Telephone Company, who donated WiFi for the Grange Hall in Divide, Montana.
The meeting included committee updates, project reports, and more. We were joined by Cliff Bradley and Egan Jankowski-Bradley with Montana BioAgriculture, who told us all about their pilot study at Elkhorn Mine (of which BHWC is a partner). Cliff and Egan are piloting the use of mycelium, which is a root-like network of fungal threads, to capture metals in the Acid Mine Drainage seeping from the historic Elkhorn Mine. After successfully removing metals in a lab setting, the team will soon be testing the technique in the field.
We apologize for the poor sound quality at the beginning of the recording. We will try to troubleshoot that at our next meeting. Luckily, you can still hear our presenters (starting at 1:11:14)!
