In 2020 we began working with the Mt. Milligan Mine Environment Team to implement a large scale reclamation trial. One year later in 2021, Chu Cho Environmental and Mount Milligan won the Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation’s (TRCR) Jake McDonald award in recognition of their progressive reclamation on this project .
What started as a simple operation with a table and some nets has now become a full-fledged research station with a banding lab, kitchen, camping trailers, and even a viewing platform for observing the marsh.
Once a thriving mining site, time and neglect have taken their toll on this property. After being shut down several years ago, vandalism and deterioration have become rampant, leading to a site in dire need of rehabilitation.
