  2. Dead Soils, Lost Roots, and the Path to Recovering the West

    To understand how to heal the land, we have to remember what was lost—and what still survives in hidden patches of ungrazed land.

    Aug 27, 2025, @WesternWatershedsProject

    "From the sagebrush-steppe of the Intermountain West to the coastal prairies of Point Reyes National Seashore, it is crucial to to restoring native perennial grasslands to understand what makes up a healthy ecosystem.

    "Widespread and heavy cattle and sheep grazing have degraded or eliminated much of the native bunchgrasses that were important components of western grasslands. We have reconstructed a baseline visual model of how a generalized thriving perennial grassland community might have appeared within 500 years prior to European contact in North America.

    [...]

    "The process can be reversed, and progress can be made in setting the path toward recovery and restoration of the original grasslands. Ungrazed or little-grazed native grassland relicts in parks, fenced livestock exclosures, and inaccessible spots like cliffs can give us clues as to what the land used to be like. But the removal of the primary stressor is absolutely necessary to begin this healing: the cattle and domestic sheep must go."

  3. #Siletz Celebrate Historic #LandBack Deal

    Tribe’s focus will be #restoration, #preservation and #cultural uses like #FirstFoods for the 2,000-acre site at the base of #TableRocks in Southern #Oregon.

    by Nika Bartoo-Smith, Underscore + ICT January 17, 2025

    "The property was purchased directly from the previous landowner. The #NatureConservancy preserves a #ConservationEasement on the land. The Siletz will continue to work closely with The Nature Conservancy and the BLM across the properties in the region to emphasize conservation and restoration.

    Expanding access to first foods

    "Moving forward, the tribe’s goal is to create opportunities for Siletz tribal members to access the historically significant land while safeguarding its character. The nation plans to work on preservation and restoration, focusing on protecting the natural area rather than developing it.

    “'There will be big opportunities for restoration and enhancement of the food plants themselves,' [Robert] Kentta said. '[And] also enhancing tribal members’ access to use of and reconnection with those resources that we’ve been separated from.'

    "Kentta mentioned some important first foods of the region that he hopes will become a focus at the property, including #camas, #tarweed and #yampah root. The land will also be used for other cultural purposes.

    "Chairman Pigsley spoke of her hope that future generations of Siletz people will be able to go up to the rocks, hearing important stories and learning about the plant and animal relatives all around."
