This remote area along the southern Idaho-Oregon border was affected by the 2015 Soda Fire, which burned nearly 400 square miles of sagebrush habitat important to many species of wildlife, as well as federal and private ranchlands.

A plot of bunchgrasses that established after the 2015 Soda Wildfire. The site was treated with herbicide the first fall post-fire, then grasses were drill seeded the subsequent year. A fence was installed to exclude livestock. This approach of combining herbicide, seeding, and grazing treatments is known as layering.
