Fire in the Shrub Steppe Webinar 3: VEGETATION MANAGEMENT – GRAZING AND MECHANICAL TREATMENTS

Fire in the Shrub Steppe Webinar Series

The sagebrush steppe is one of the largest ecosystems in North America and one of the most threatened due to human land use conversions, non-native plant invasions, and wildfire. This five-part virtual series will introduce us to the ecology of this unique ecosystem, the past and current role and impact of fire on the landscape, and to many of the brilliant folks working every day to manage and protect critical habitat, wildlife, and communities living with fire in the shrub steppe.

You may register for one, some, or all of the webinars.

Webinar 3: VEGETATION MANAGEMENT – GRAZING AND MECHANICAL TREATMENTS

Vegetation management in the shrub steppe is critical to protecting communities and meeting landscape management goals.  Chris Schactschneider, OSU Extension, and Seth Hulett, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, will share examples of how grazing and mechanical treatments can be used to change fire behavior.
