The Bridge Creek Watershed Council takes an active role in uplands restoration, which includes juniper control, a serious ecological issue in Wheeler County. The Thompson Creek Uplands Improvement project is a good example of a holistic approach to watershed improvement. This project will eliminate 170 acres of invasive juniper, treat a medusahead rye infestation, re-seed the affected acreage, and develop and protect a natural spring to provide an upland water source for wildlife and livestock. The affected pastures will be rested to ensure the establishment of desirable vegetation.
