Topics Featured In The Plan:

• Prepare for and limit the effects of more frequent or intense droughts and wildfires. Use native species (particularly drought- and heat-tolerant ones) in post-disturbance restoration efforts.
• Shifts in the distribution of forests and vegetation. Create more forest openings and other suitable habitat for service berries. Increase habitat connectivity.
• Shifts in the distribution of forests and vegetation. Create more forest openings and other suitable habitat for service berries. Enhance growth and productivity of Service Berries.
• Increase resilience to future changes by reducing existing stressors. Reduce pressure from cattle and other animals.
• Increased risk of wildfire to Sagebrush Steppe. Plan and prepare for increases in frequency and severity of wildfires. Plan and prepare for greater area burned.
• Increased risk of wildfire to Sagebrush Steppe. Plan and prepare for increases in frequency and severity of wildfires. Increase resilience through post-fire management.
• Potential increase in diseases and parasites. Reduce the impact of diseases and parasites on freshwater habitats. Improve monitoring for fish disease and parasites.
• Increased risk of drought. Increase resilience of riparian habitats to increasing regional drought. Protect and increase instream flows.
• Enhance outreach and educational activities around riparian issues.
• Limit the effect of invasive species to enhance the natural resilience of forest habitats. Increase forest landscape resilience to large and extensive insect or pathogen outbreaks.
• Prepare for unavoidable shifts in the distribution of forest species and habitats. Enhance the quality current habitat for mule deer.
• Reduce Mule Deer habit impacts from Invasive Species. Prepare for and respond to increased pressure from invasive species.
