Project Description
Projects funded under this project will enhance vegetation communities in the 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 ecosystem and protect mesic habitats on a privately owned ranch in Nevada. Project activities include installing fuel breaks strategically along dirt roads in two areas by mowing sagebrush. Future activities will address improving habitats with the use of native grasses and forbs within fuel breaks having conditions suitable for the successful establishment of native species.
