Project Description

The Colorado First Conservation District will work with private landowners to restore 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.

Learn more about sagebrush habitats within Moffat County. The District will support the rehabilitation of degraded habitats by controlling invasive annual grasses or seeding native grasses and forbs in priority areas.
