The University of Wyoming’s Institute for Managing Annual Grasses Invading Natural Ecosystems has released two short films highlighting cheatgrass management efforts in Carbon and Sublette counties.
The films are the latest installments in an ongoing seven-part series highlighting collaborative efforts to “defend the core” from invasive annual grasses such as cheatgrass, medusahead and ventenata.
Invasive annual grasses are a leading cause of land degradation in the sagebrush biome, suppressing native plant communities, fueling wildfires and reducing forage availability for livestock and wildlife.
