SAGESTEP

Read short, digestible information from SageSTEP scientists on a number of topics related to our research... We are hiring three field technicians to work on the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP) investigating the long-term ecological impacts of fuel reduction treatments in the intermountain West sagebrush steppe and western juniper woodlands... From 2005-2010, we implemented fuels treatments at study sites, and evaluated the short-term effects of land management options on a variety of ecosystem components. In 2011, we began a long-term monitoring phase of the project to better understand the changes in response to treatment over time. We continue to gather data that provides managers with information to make restoration decisions with reduced risk and uncertainty.
