Influencing Elk and Livestock Riparian Use

The project plans to test different strategies to reduce grazing in riparian areas. In some areas wildlife and livestock over use riparian areas while uplands are under utilized. This project will demonstrate some strategies to manage riparian areas by using cross-riparian drift fences and fertilized upland plots.
