Goal-Driven Intensive Management of a Riparian/Sandy Bottom Site
Summary
Much of the western landscape has deteriorated. One approach to improve the land is to rest riparian areas long term or even permanently. Without eliminating rest, or any other tool, this project will investigate if tightly managed livestock impacts, controlled by strict monitoring of conditions and guided by our goals, can improve this type of area for all its functions.
