Approach
Maintain vigorous growth of native shrub, perennial grass, and other perennial species
Tactics
- Remove encroaching conifers
- Plant seed of native species
- Monitor successional patterns of vegetative communities
- Apply prescribed burning in the spring
- Focus grazing on non-native species in spring; do not graze natives in summer
- Find locations where late-season grazing has minimal impacts
