Scott Chew:
The oil industry is relatively new, as far as history.
They have had to evolve faster than possibly ranching did but a lot of it, we learned how to, through communication, to pat each other on the back and help each other.
You know, sometimes when energy companies go in and build a location there's an opportunity to dam off a drainage and create a water hole.
Stephanie Tomkinson:
Its not only for wildlife but also for the domestic sheep and cows that are grazed out here. It's one of the things we do to help the ranchers.
Scott Chew:
There are areas that are actually better now, because of the reclamation work that was done, then they were before.
Stephanie Tomkinson:
This location was reclaimed 14 years ago we came in and we re-contoured, we blend with the surrounding landscape.
We planted native vegetation.
Scott Chew:
This is a totally different landscape. And the resources are different and we have had to learn how to be a part of the resources rather then just use them up.
Stephanie Tomkinson:
We will completely blend in with the surrounding landscape and the vegetation. You will never know we were here.
In my line of work, a success is when you get a location reclaimed properly to blend in with the surrounding landscape.
We work together to make sure its done right.
