The Great Basin Restoration Initiative focuses on implementing, supporting, and enhancing sustainable resources in the public lands of Great Basin ecosystems. The initiative aims to integrate science into treatments, prioritize projects, and engage in monitoring and adaptive management practices to achieve healthy landscapes. Collaborating with various partners, the initiative conducts evaluations, shares results, and offers technical assistance to improve restoration efforts.
