Restoring rangelands in the Danskin Mountains of Idaho
Following the 280,000-acre Pony-Elk Complex wildfires in 2013, rancher Jeff Lord partnered with state and federal agencies to assist with range-rehabilitation projects in the Danskin Mountains. Lord hopped on his tractor and helped with drill-seeding range grasses and plants immediately following the fires, and the BLM and Boise National Forest also flew aerial-seedings the following winter. The Life on the Range video crew toured the Danskin Mountains with Lord and Boise National Forest range management specialist Cindy Lancaster in June 2019 to see how the post-burn fire rehabilitation and restoration work.
