This Alturas Field Office grant is dedicated to supporting the crucial Sage Steppe Ecosystem Restoration Strategy. This comprehensive initiative encompasses 6.5 million acres across northeastern California and northwestern Nevada, primarily focusing on the vital sagebrush steppe ecosystem. The region’s ecological health is severely threatened by widespread western juniper encroachment, leading to a significant decline in rangeland quality. To counteract this degradation, the Strategy proposes implementing various targeted treatment methods for juniper removal. The ambitious goal is to treat an estimated 1.2 million acres affected by juniper encroachment over the next five decades, thereby restoring the health and vitality of this essential natural habitat.

| Description: | The Strategy encompasses an area in northeastern California and Northwestern Nevada including 6.5 million acres. Within the planning area, the predominant range site is a sagebrush grassland which is often referred to as sagebrush steppe. The health of this ecosystem is being severely impacted by encroaching western juniper. In order to reverse this downward trend in rangeland health, the Strategy proposes a variety of treatment methods to remove encroaching juniper. A total of 1.2 million acres of juniper encroachment are expected to be treated over the next 50 years. |
