The water was brown, fish were low life was low and that is when people started to see this problem and the 5 goals they were 4..to restore fleshman creek Yellowstone cutthroat [YCT] habitat In an attempt to re-establish and strengthen population number. 2.to restore aquatic and riaran habitat. 3.to improve Fleshman creek water quality and quantity. A. to mitigate risks to property and life associated with flooding hazard. 5. to enhance Fleshman creek as a community and educational resource and an improved public amenity. There was million dollar were put in to it. In 2005 the project started and Livingston school help the high school help the middle school help.Why we should keep fleshman creek the Yellowstone is connected is to the Missouri and that is connected to the Mississippi witch is connected to the gulf witch is connected to the world. That is why we need to keep it clean some of the materials they used because the bank fell in when you walk on they planted tree but mostly willow trees and then they placed coconut net down so it would help the bank there are so many reasons to help keep it clean you can pick up trash, watch what you put down those drains on the street. And they made the pipe bigger. By.
