Sagebrush Manager & Climate Change Research Group

The Sagebrush Manager & Climate Information Research Group is a collaboration of Oregon and Idaho BLM sagebrush land managers, Conservation Biology Institute climate scientists and an Oregon State University Natural Resource Management research intern.The research project  ‘Packaging Usable Climate Change Information for Sagebrush Country’ has received funding from the Bureau of Land Management. The first objective of the project is to gain first-hand knowledge from BLM land managers in Oregon and Idaho about the type of climate information used in sagebrush management. The second objective is to understand what type and format of climate change information managers can use to manage for sustainability and resilience.  

This group has been created to aid in the information exchange between sagebrush land managers, climate scientists, and project research. Within this group collaborators can access and upload  content pertinent to Oregon & Idaho sagebrush, and can view present climate model tools as examples of what may or may not be useful forms of data presentation.

Land managers are encouraged  to browse and utilize the information and data herein, as well as add any information, data, maps, images, or articles that may enhance the understanding of  what information is needed from climate scientists to help management decisions.
