Sage-grouse Habitat Conservation Through Prisons

Webinar date/time: Fri, Sep 28, 2018 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT

Duration: 1 hour

What will you learn?



The purpose of the "Sagebrush in Prisons Project," is to improve habitat
for the greater sage-grouse by engaging state prison systems in production
of sagebrush and other important plants for habitat restoration on BLM
lands. The Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) has partnered with the BLM
to grow sagebrush with ten prisons in six states. Inmates are involved in
sowing plants, growing them over  the summer and planting-out on BLM land
in the fall. The program is a win-win-win for inmates, community and the
environment. Inmates learn horticulture skills, gain confidence from sowing
seeds to daily care for the plants to planting-out on greater sage-grouse
habitat.



Presenter(s): Stacy Moore is the Ecological Education Program Director with
Institute for Applied Ecology, a non-profit located in Corvallis, Oregon.
