Approach
Increase resilience of native sagebrush-grass ecosystems.
Tactics
- Promote the occurrence and growth of early-season native species.
- Reduce grazing in July and August to encourage perennial growth.
- Revise grazing policies, and review and evaluate grazing allotment plans.
- Manage fire to maintain desired habitat.
- Apply prescribed burning in the spring.
- Prevent fragmentation of native habitat.
