Restoration in Action

On the Boardman Conservation Area (BCA), The Nature Conservancy has worked to restore over 500 acres of degraded grasslands. Initial restoration began in 2001, and a long-term restoration project was adopted in 2007. TNC reduced inavsive weeds using controlled burning and herbicide application, and recovered native species by range-drilling grass seed and planting grass and forb plugs.

Details on the restoration planning and process can be found in the 5-year Implementation Plan (2008).

The latest monitoring results can be found in the 10-year Comprehensive Restoration Report (2016)
