Considering it was a church sponsored event, it was kind of funny as the crowd left during the closing credits. As we walked out in the dark, the movie was ending with AC/DC's "Highway to Hell". lol

I had followed this on PC as well (Movies in the Meadow thread). I was actually one of the people that investigated and called Jeffco. I am still in contact with them as I do stream monitoring on both of the Turkey Creek forks and Bear Creek. The willow removal will allow a better line of site for those leaving the property onto hwy 73 and they were keeping the flow backed up some causing the creek to widen. Since there are no beavers there, the owners do need to manage the growth now and then. The willows area already growing back, the root structures were not removed. And they pulled out a lot of trash that had been there for years.
I believe it is a wetland personally and would like them to do more with that area. (Establish a better defined creek channel (preferably further away from the road) and throw in some rocks to create some pools and drop structures. Then allow the willows to grow back to a more manageable size.) Did you know there is a healthy brook trout population in N. Turkey creek? Shhh. It's a secret.
I do applaud them for trying to provide a community activity (FREE by the way). And if you can sneak booze into Red Rock, a meadow should be no problem I would think, but WHY you have to bring it is the question.
