Webinar: Sagebrush Grasslands Restoration for Greater Sage-Grouse Recovery

November 29, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

| Free
Sagebrush is an important component of Greater Sage-Grouse habitat but loss of sagebrush has led to the decline of Sage-Grouse populations and subsequent species at risk designation. Canada’s recovery strategy for Sage-Grouse suggests low quality habitat could support positive population growth through restoration of habitat. Little research has been conducted on sagebrush restoration and… More conventional restoration methods such as broadcast seeding and out planting container stock seedlings have limited success. My PhD research focuses on developing restoration methods to improve establishment, growth and survival of seeded or transplanted sagebrush to increase size and improve quality of sagebrush habitat to facilitate recovery of Sage-Grouse populations and other species at risk. Experiments address three areas critical to sagebrush restoration success: sagebrush population ecology, and improving container growth and seeding of sagebrush.
