Approach

Identify, retain, and restore riparian/wetland habitat for wildlife.

Tactics

  • Maintain and restore alpine wetlands for amphibian habitat.
  • Maintain and restore streamside and riparian habitats: manage grazing, recreation and other anthropogenic stressors in sensitive areas to maintain wildlife habitat; maintain riparian vegetation to provide wildlife habitat and stream shading.
  • Maintain and restore aspen habitat: remove conifer encroachment, and manage grazing in sensitive areas to maintain wildlife habitat.
