Final Methods
We aerially seeded this project in November of 2017. The bullhog contract was awarded shortly after, but the contractor failed to begin work until the end of May 2018. Work was completed by the end of June 2018.

Project Narrative
Pinyon and juniper tree encroachment is reducing the quantity and quality of wildlife habitats within this project area and increasing the risk of catastrophic fire. This area provides important winter range for mule deer and elk. We removed the threat to valuable understory vegetation from encroaching PJ and fire through masticating trees within the project area with a bullhog. This will improve the existing habitat and help to increase deer and elk herds as well as benefit many other species that depend on the understory vegetation for survival.

Future Management
Areas that are treated will be rested from grazing during the growing seasons for at least two years post project.
