  • Using resilience and resistance concepts to manage threats to sagebrush ecosystems and sage-grouse

    Webinar recording. This webinar discusses a strategic approach developed by an interagency, Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies working group for conservation of sagebrush ecosystems, Gunnison sage-grouse, and greater sage-grouse. It uses information on (1) factors that influence sagebrush ecosystem resilience to disturbance and resistance to nonnative invasive plants and (2) distribution and relative abundance of…

  • Sage-grouse forb preference by 12 plant categories

    Webinar addendum. This webinar presented by Roger Rosentreter, BLM Idaho Retired State Botanist, describes a method for quickly assessing sage-grouse food availability and value. Grouping species into palatability groups make field sampling and analysis more reasonable and can assist in the development of management recommendations for sage-grouse.

  • Sage-grouse habitat conservation through prisons

    This webinar presented by Stacy Moore, Ecological Education Program, Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE), introduces the Sagebrush in Prisons Project, which is designed to improve habitat for the greater sage-grouse by engaging state prison systems in production of sagebrush and other important plants for habitat restoration on BLM lands. BLM field offices and the IAE grow…

  • Assessing the impacts of post-fire drill seeding on archaeological resources: A case study from the Owyhee Uplands in southwest Idaho

    Webinar brief. Rangeland drills are commonly employed for post fire rehabilitation and emergency stabilization. With the assumption that adverse effects will occur, archaeological sites are flagged and avoided. This may cause a site stranding effect and greater potential for post fire erosion. To better understand and quantify the effects we evaluated four archaeological sites characterized…

  • Weed-free seed, unicorns, and other myths

    Webinar brief. This webinar presents an overview of how to understand what weeds are and are not included in weed testing for seed that is sold in industry or increased…

  • Weed-free mulch, unicorns, and other myths

    Webinar brief. This webinar presents an overview to understanding what weeds are and are not included in agricultural straw/mulch certified under Weed-Free Forage programs by states and the North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA). It presents simple steps the user can take to make informed decisions when acquiring mulch to assess and minimize weed…

  • Unmanned Aerial Systems Noxious Weeds and Fuel Load Program

    View webinar recording. This webinar presents the Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drones) Resource Management Technologies – Fuel Load and Noxious Weeds Program, which can map, identify, treat, quantify and measure fuel loads and noxious weeds utilizing hyperspectral and LiDAR sensors combined with drone technologies. Chris Wilson of Wilson Herbicide, partnered with Maser Consulting, presents. Disclaimer: Hosting this…
