DESCRIPTION

The Zumwalt Prairie in northeastern Oregon is a unique grassland ecosystem. In the northeastern portion of this relict grassland, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) manages the 13,000 ha (33,000 acre) Zumwalt Prairie Preserve. The preserve is managed for the conservation of the native grassland, shrubland, aquatic, and riparian ecosystems that occur there. Research investigating the effects of various land management practices, including prescribed fire and grazing, is being conducted by TNC and collaborators, including Oregon State University and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. One challenge to both management and research is incorporating data on weather and climate into this work.
