Approach

Increase resilience through post-fire management.

Tactics

  • Consider climate change in post-fire rehabilitation.
  • Determine where native seed may be needed for post-fire planting.
  • Anticipate greater need for seed sources and propagated plants.
  • Experiment with planting native grass species to compete with cheatgrass after fire.
  • Increase post-fire monitoring in areas not currently monitored.
