The Southwestern Region of the USDA Forest Service recognizes that rangelands evolved with a high degree of disturbance. These disturbances can produce critical changes in resource conditions. To avoid arbitrary decisions, it is often necessary to gather information quickly and perform an assessment of each allotment in order to adapt range management to allow for ecosystem recovery.� The ability to adapt grazing management in response to changing conditions in the ecosystem is critical to the sustainability of rangelands and agricultural livestock production.� In response to this knowledge in 2015,�the Southwestern Region�revised the Regional Supplement to the Grazing Permit Administration Handbook incorporating considerations for restocking and management of grazing allotments post wildfire and other disturbances.� This poster will present those considerations.
