Figure 36.— Reclaimed area of wheatgrasses, pines, and junipers at the Big Sl<y mine in Montana. Six- to 15-foot ponderosa 

 pines and Rocky Mountain junipers, normally difficult to transplant, are in their second year of growth after being trans- 

 planted into grass-covered reclaimed ground. The grasses are mainly western, crested, and thickspike wheatgrasses.
