Invasive annual grasses—including cheatgrass, medusahead, ventenata, and others—continue to transform rangelands across the West, threatening ecosystem resilience, wildlife habitat, and working landscapes. IMAGINE’s annual Invasive Annual Grass Virtual Workshop builds on momentum from previous years by bringing together land managers, researchers, and conservation practitioners to build community, share perspectives, and exchange science-based approaches to invasive annual grass management.
This workshop will highlight new research, tools, and tactics, including mule deer interactions with invasive annual grasses, updates on mapping tools and emerging management approaches such as Indaziflam and soil amendments,. Participants will hear about on-the-ground lessons from projects following Level 3 workshops in Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, and southwestern Idaho. The workshop will conclude with a reflection on three years of technology transfer and how shared tools and knowledge are translating into action across the sagebrush biome.
Idaho Falls Field Workshop
Workshop Overview
This two-day workshop is designed to take an in depth look at how you can apply a set of principles and tools to strategically manage IAGs in Eastern Idaho. Our target audience includes both land managers and producers. Whether you are from the area or from the greater western US, this workshop is designed to help participants gain knowledge about how to best tackle IAGs through conversations about various management practices depending on invasion severity and recovery potential. Management goals can vary depending on how success is defined.
Additionally, we will visit a spectrum of sites from intact core areas to other rangelands areas. At these various sites, we will talk about potential management tactics and explore how different government agencies are tackling the issue based on various circumstances. Through this field workshop, our goal is to have participants become more confident with the different planning and management tools and help them to determine best management tactics to fit their situations.
