The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering this grant to address severe conifer encroachment threatening vital prairies and oak woodlands within the Lacks Creek Management Area (LCMA). Over the past 50-100 years, fire exclusion has allowed dense Douglas-fir and tan oak forests to replace open areas historically dominated by native grasses, Oregon white oak, and California black oak. This critical ecological shift jeopardizes the natural biodiversity of the region. The purpose of this grant is to fund projects that will assist with the comprehensive implementation of prairie and oak woodland restoration efforts within the LCMA, aiming to restore these unique and threatened ecosystems.
