Join us on October 24 as we send off sagebrush seedlings in support of habitat for the Greater Sage Grouse! IAE grows over 10,000 sagebrush plants in conetainers at Oregon’s only minimum security prison for women. Now it’s time to pack up our seedlings into boxes for transport to Klamath Falls, where they will be planted in post-fire restoration sites. This restoration work party is a great opportunity to help threatened wildlife and learn more about IAE’s Conservation in Prisons Program.
