Approach
Integrate traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) with fire management plans and cultural resource data base to holistically manage for traditional food sources (e.g., huckleberry, mushrooms, pine nuts, sage grouse, etc.)
Tactics
- Emphasize preservation of traditional food sources with tribal and local significance.
- Enhance resilience of specific habitats to fire and other threats. Manage fire to maintain or protect sage brush range lands and other sensitive vegetation community types.
- Identify and protect areas suitable for traditional food gathering during fire suppression and rehabilitation activities.
