Final Methods
We developed a custom seed mix through the GBRC that focused on shrubs and forbs with some grasses. See the seed section for the mix. Once the mix was completed we hired a helicopter company to come and fly the seed on 1,966 acres. The seed was flown on before we had significant snow in November. We also did some minimal drill seeding with just an atv drill seeder to plant antelope bitterbrush and fourwing saltbush. We don't have a shapefile for the drill seeding area but it was within the same area that was aerially seeded.

Project Narrative
The Range Fire burned in the late summer of 2020. It burned several thousand acres of the Timpanogos WMA. This WMA provides critical winter range for mule deer and elk. It also is located above many homes and infrastructure. In order to speed up recovery, benefit the big game winter range, and reduce threats of erosion we reseeded the fire.

Future Management
We will continue to monitor the establishment of our seeded species and any weeds. We will do follow up seeding andplanting. Also, we will spray weeds with herbicide. Hopefully, our efforts will pay off and we will see good establishment of native plants.
