Two exclosures will be constructed to compare current livestock grazing and no livestock grazing on tall forb communities to better understand these communities and their true potentials. Vegetation monitoring will occur every 5-10 yrs or as needed.
Location
The project is located west of Whitney Reservoir on land administered by the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest approximately 30 miles south of Evanston, Wyoming.
