Webinar
In this webinar, Jerry Tagestad, Sr. Research Scientist with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, presents an overview of tools to aid rangeland managers in deriving information from the abundant geospatial data available today. Particular emphasis was placed on a recently developed pre-season fire risk model that could be adapted for the Great Basin.
In this webinar, Dave Pyke, USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center, discusses results of a study looking at 20 years of post-fire rehabilitation seeding in the Great Basin. See also the article on this topic.
In this webinar, Kayla Herriman and Sarah Garvin, USFS Region 6 Bend Seed Extractory, OR, discuss wildland seed collection and extraction in the Great Basin.
Seed zones: Development and use, procurement and deployment, and provisional zones for native plants
This webinar discusses the development and use of seed zones, use of seed zones in the procurement and deployment of native plant materials, and provisional seed zones for native plants. Presenters were: Brad St. Clair, Research Geneticist, USFS Pacific Northwest Research Station, Vicky Erikson, Geneticist, USFS Pacific Northwest Region, and Andy Bower, Geneticist, USFS Olympic National Forest.
This webinar discusses the procurement and application of native plant material in the BLM and the use of provisional seed zones as a purchase stipulation.
In this webinar, Bruce Roundy, Plant Ecologist at Brigham Young University, discusses vegetation restoration in response to piñon and juniper control treatments.
In this webinar, Jeff Ott, Research Geneticist and Steve Monsen, Botanist with the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station discuss methods for large-scale restoration following fire in the Great Basin and aerial seeding and broadcast seeding methods.
In this webinar, Jerry Benson, President, BFI Native Seeds, discusses the context and tools of assisted succession.
In this webinar, Kent McAdoo, Rangeland Resources Specialist, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, discusses strategies for increasing native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass seedings.

This webinar describes tools for using geospatial technologies to focus management in those areas that will most contribute to the conservation of sagebrush communities important to sage-grouse given anticipated landscape changes.
Presented by Chris Balzotti, Stan Kitchen, and Clint McCarthy, and hosted by the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station.
