Growing the Core: Restoring Sagebrush Steppe Habitats with Innovative Restoration Technologies
Funding Year | Amount | Location |
FY24 | $100,000 | Rangewide |
Project Description
The purpose of this project is to use technologies to improve the restoration success of sagebrush sagebrush
The western United States’ sagebrush country encompasses over 175 million acres of public and private lands. The sagebrush landscape provides many benefits to our rural economies and communities, and it serves as crucial habitat for a diversity of wildlife, including the iconic greater sage-grouse and over 350 other species.

Work will develop and test herbicide resistance and germination delay technologies to facilitate restoration in the sagebrush biome, especially in areas important to the "Defend and Grow the Core" approach.
