Project Description
Intent of this project is to continue and build upon a virtual fence project by focusing on ranch-scale trials for results-based management that simultaneously support livestock production and multiple ecosystem services. Livestock will be managed to achieve outcomes to benefit 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.
