Project Description
This project will deliver multiple treatments, including wet meadow restoration (150 acres), prioritized cheatgrass treatments (1000 acres) and other 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.
