Seedings of plant materials at stripmine locations were conducted at the Usibelli mine near Healy, at the abandoned Jonesville mine in the Matanuska Valley, and in the undeveloped Beluga coal field in the foothills of the Alaska Range. Grasses enduring best over a variety of conditions include entries of red fescue, sheep fescue, and tuffed hairgrass. Observations were made on occurrences of several big game mammals and their habitat uses on the Usibelli mine property. 14 refs., 19 tabs. (ACR)
