Defend Your Core - An Invasive Annual Grasses Story

Invasive annual grasses (IAGs)—such as cheatgrass, ventenata, and medusahead—are rapidly degrading western rangelands. This film highlights the negative impacts IAGs have on landscapes in Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming. These aggressive plants outcompete native vegetation, fuel severe wildfires, and threaten the future of working lands. The film explores the ecological, ranching, and economic impacts of IAGs in western rangelands and what can be done to manage them. Hear from land managers who share their experiences with managing these invasive species through partnerships and collaboration. Learn about management tools and strategies like herbicide application, restoration, and monitoring that are working in a variety of geographies across the West.
