Working Together to Restore the Desert

The USGS RAMPS program's RestoreNet experiment works to strengthen land treatment, restoration, and reclamation activity across the Southwestern Deserts. This garden is in the sagebrush ecosystem managed by the BLM in Utah. Managers are looking for ways to increase diversity in the sagebrush steppe in support of wildlife. The RestoreNet project is an example of co-produced science, where land managers and scientists work together to design the experiment,  interpret results, and create science delivery products that are useful for land managers working to improve the condition of the land.
