Maintain vigorous growth of native shrub, perennial grass, and other perennial species, while minimizing the spread of non-native species

Approach

Tactics

Remove encroaching conifers

Plant seed of native species

Monitor successional patterns of vegetative communities

Sensitivity

Higher wildfire frequency will cause increased mortality of shrub species and native grasses and increase dominance of non-native species.

Strategy

Maintain viable habitats and populations
