Summary
The aim of this project is to study the effects of elk herds on riparian areas. Currently, owners of grazing permits on national forests have no information concerning elk-livestock integration and the impact it has on the rancher's ability, in an agriculturally sustainable manner, to graze cattle on riparian areas.
