Cheatgrass is an annual invasive grass, and its range is expanding in the Gunnison Basin (the Uncompahgre River Watershed is in the Gunnison Basin). This plant increases wildfire frequency, reduces forage for livestock and big game, and reduces the quality of wildlife habitat.
If you want to learn how to control this plant on your land, please join the Bird Conservatory of the Rockies, Gunnison County and Gunnison Conservation District for a FREE informational workshop on cheatgrass ecology and management!
