Engaging communities in sagebrush restoration: Idaho Fish and Game Southwest Region Volunteer Program

Webinar brief. 

This 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.

The science of sagebrush ecosystem restoration

In this presentation by Dr. Kas Dumroese, Research Plant Physiologist at the Rocky Mountain Research Station, an overview of the role of native plant production and deployment and their applications in a changing climate are discussed within the context of meeting USDA/DOI sage-grouse conservation goals.

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 sagebrush with 11 prisons in 6 states. Inmates are involved in sowing plants, growing them over the summer, and planting-out on BLM land in the fall.

Post-fire seeding methods for establishing diverse native communities in the Great Basin

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.

Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP) six-year update

This webinar presents findings from SageSTEP scientists, who have collected 6 years of post-treatment data from 20 sites throughout the Great Basin, and now have a fairly certain understanding of short-term vegetation response to fire and mechanical treatments on about half of those sites. While post-treatment recovery to a more desirable condition is evident at some sites (i.e. more bunchgrasses), the warmer and drier sites continue to be dominated by exotic annual grasses.
