SUMMARY:Using resilience and resistance concepts to manage threats to sagebrush ecosystems and sage-grouse
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThis 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 populations to address persistent ecosystem threats\, such as nonnative invasive plants and wildfire\, and anthropogenic threats\, such as oil and gas development and agronomic conversion\, and to develop effective management strategies. \nWebinar was presented by Jeanne Chambers\, US Forest Service – Rocky Mountain Research Station and hosted by the Great Northern\, Southern Rockies\, and Great Basin Landscape Conservation Cooperatives \n

SUMMARY:Sage-grouse habitat conservation through prisons
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Engaging communities in sagebrush restoration: Idaho Fish and Game Southwest Region Volunteer Program
DESCRIPTION:Webinar brief.  \nThis webinar provided an overview of Idaho Fish and Game’s Southwest Region Volunteer Program\, which has been utilizing volunteers in important habitat restoration projects for over 25 years. They use an adaptive approach to landscape management that includes responding to wildfires and working across land managed by federal\, state and private entities. The program has become quite successful because it makes the volunteer the most important piece of the project; without volunteers the projects could not happen. \nWebinar recording

SUMMARY:Assessing the impacts of post-fire drill seeding on archaeological resources: A case study from the Owyhee Uplands in southwest Idaho
DESCRIPTION:Webinar brief. \nRangeland 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 as lithic scatters. Artifacts were documented and point-plotted using sub-centimeter GPS technology\, subjected to drill seeding\, and subsequently replotted and reevaluated. This presentation will detail the methods and results of this study and thoughts for future application. This webinar was presented by Kirk Halford\, BLM\, Boise. \nWebinar recording

SUMMARY:Do you suffer from biocrust blindness? What you need to know about biological soil crusts in the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:Biological soil crusts refer to a community of organisms that live on the soil surface in arid and semi-arid lands\, including fungi\, lichens\, mosses and cyanobacteria. These organisms contribute to nutrient and hydrologic cycling as well as the prevention of soil erosion. This webinar discusses the distribution of biocrusts in the region as well as their recovery from disturbance and restoration. Presented by Lea Condon\, Research Ecologist at the USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center\, Corvallis\, OR. \nWebinar recording

SUMMARY:Rangeland Fire Protection Associations in Oregon and Idaho: Implications for fire adaptation and agency-community relationships
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThis webinar discusses Rangeland Fire Protection Associations\, which are unique partnerships wherein ranchers and the Bureau of Land Management work together to suppress rangeland wildfires. Using four case studies in Oregon and Idaho\, the value and outcomes of this approach\, as well as challenges and future implications for fire adaptation on the range are discussed. Presented by Emily Jane Davis\, Oregon State University.
