Restoration in Juojoki.

From 7 to 11 September we have spend our days down by Juojoki with Rolf Lahti to work with restoration the little brook to make it better for the trouts living ther.
Its a project that students from the TFHSK has worked with since 2004 and will continue until 2014. The project is about to restore the brook back into its natural shape. Back in time Juojoki was used for shipping timber and many of the spawning grounds and places for the trout to live was destroyed. And Juojoki is the only known brook in the Torneriver system on the swedish side containing freshwater pearl mussel, so its important to make good places for the trouts to live because the mussel is dependence on the trout since the mussel is living as a parasite on the trout during one stadium in their life. During the week we made spawning grounds, places for the trouts to live, testfishing and electrofishing. We also checked out the insect life around the brook. It was another learning week at the school :)
