Liz Vandentoorn guides a crew into the backcountry for a fish management project. 71 years to the day after biologist Eldon Vestal and his team relocated Paiute cutthroat trout to North Fork Cottonwood Creek, a joint team of scientists from USDA Forest Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife, brought the decedents of those fish back to their native habitat of Silver King Creek, Inyo National Forest. The project was the culmination of two years of planning to enhance the Silver King Creek population that had been devastated by years of drought and then uncharacteristic flooding.
