Development and Implementation of an Innovative Grazing Management Solution to Overgrazing on Remote Island Ranches in the North Pacific and Bering Pacific Islands of Alaska

Grazing management is the foundation of grassland-based livestock production since it affects both animal and plant health and productivity. This project will develop and implement an innovative solution to overgrazing on remote islands in Alaska. A calculated prescription for annual harvest of livestock will be made available to producers for attaining proper management and conservation of remote island natural resources. Project will monitor rangeland healthy for results, create technical information useful for resources conservation, assist in creating eligibility for cost-share programs for producers, and encourage early adoption.
