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.
- Increase monitoring of post-fire effects and implement appropriate actions.
- Develop flexible, novel grazing management plans.
