Sagebrush Ecosystem Conservation
The Sagebrush Ecosystem Conservation: All Lands, All Hands Conference was held February 23 to 25, 2016, in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Great Basin
Consortium, the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, and Utah State
University co-sponsored this conference to continue sharing the latest information
and to plan for the conservation, restoration, and maintenance of resilient sagebrush
ecosystems. Session topics are listed below. Recorded proceedings are now available at no charge. Please see the conference website for details: sagebrushconference2016.org
Recent unprecedented collaboration between management agencies, scientists, private
landowners, industry, and others working to sustain healthy sagebrush ecosystems across

highlight and enhance the work of wildlife and land managers, scientists, students,
private landowners and industry, and others to sustain healthy and resilient sagebrush
ecosystems.
