Conservation grazing Part 1: Introduction to conservation grazing for western Washington prairies
Grazing -- Environmental aspects -- Washington (State), Western Prairies -- Washington (State), Western -- Management Range management -- Washington (State), Western Grasslands
This publication series aims to increase knowledge of ecological principles in grassland management, using specific management examples to illustrate how grazing has been applied historically and can be applied in the future as an ecological process for biodiversity conservation and enhancement. The target audiences are the public entities and regulators, grass-based livestock producers, conservation land managers, private landowners, and others. Background is first provided on grasslands locally and globally, including their geographic extent, ecological, cultural, and social importance, and trends in the loss of this critical biome. An introduction to conservation grazing follows. Subsequent publications in this series present management and planning tools for implementing a conservation-oriented approach to grazing.
