The UP and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources sponsored a Plant Community Restoration Workshop on September 18-21, 2006 at the Great Basin Environmental Education Center (GBEEC) in Ephraim, Utah. It was an excellent opportunity for land managers to learn more about landscape restoration techniques. The workshop had 70 attendees from 7 western states.
This workshop addresses issues related to community restoration with emphasis on the mountain brush, pinyon-juniper, and big sagebrush associations. Classroom direction and field inspection of practices and procedures used to control plant competition, complete seedbed preparation and seeding operations to establish diverse number of species and measures to interseed and encourage natural recovery were presented. Equipment utilized to complete these practices was demonstrated. The attributes and applicability of seeding multiple introduced and native species were discussed and demonstrated using a number of historic studies and project seedings.
