Two MERG-sponsored mine reclamation projects were surveyed during the summer of 2002. These included the Brewery Creek Mine where local shrubs were planted in large open areas at the mine site in 2000, and Noname Creek near Big Creek west of Carmacks where, in 2001, live willow cuttings were used at an abandoned placer mine to stabilize an eroding gully in permafrost. Because the effectiveness of reclamation projects such as these can only be determined after several year of observation, the two mine sites were revisited in 2002 to record the successes and failures of the experimental work and to make suggestions on where improvements can be made.
