Resource Type: Guide/Factsheet

IPM consists of a combination of strategies to Prevent, Avoid, Monitor, and Suppress (PAMS) woody pests in grasslands.

This pocket guide provides an improved planning process to design grassland ecosystems that are less vulnerable to the threat of woody encroachment.

A new guide, produced through a partnership between public university extension programs in the Great Plains, the USDA-NRCS’s Working Lands for Wildlife, the USDA-NRCS’s Central National Technology Support Center, and various other conservation partners, provides the first-ever framework for addressing woody encroachment, now recognized as one of the top two drivers of grassland loss in the Great Plains.
