Successful Vegetation Management of the Sagebrush-Steppe
/This online learning series responds to Section 7.b.iii, Action Item #5 within the Fuels section of the 2015 Integrated Rangeland Fire Management Strategy
The Faces and Facets of #SagebrushCountry
/A social media-based campaign called People of the Sage took place throughout the month of September to celebrate and highlight a mere handful of people working on the different facets of sagebrush country. Numerous partners in SageWest, a communications network, participated by sharing messages from people that live and work in this uniquely Western landscape.

2016 Resilience and Resistance Field Workshop Reports
/Rick Miller, Professor Emeritus of Range and Fire Ecology, and local hosts will discuss tools to rapidly assess resilience to disturbance (ability of a treatment area to recover), resistance to invasive annuals, predict successional pathways, and determine the need and suitability for seeding on potential vegetation treatment areas and areas burned by wildfire.
Restoration Handbook for Sagebrush Steppe Ecosystems with Emphasis on Greater Sage-grouse Habitat
/Blending ecosystem realities with species specific needs provides an ecologically based framework for strategically focusing restoration measures to support species of conservation concern over the short and long term.
By using the concepts established here, we set the stage for two decision support tools. One will address decisions relating to landscape objectives and outcomes and the second relates to site-specific restoration.
