RANGE REHABILITATION EFFORTS HAMPERED Rain, snow and cold temperatures temper-atures have teamed up to stall Wildlife Resources efforts to rehabilitate deer winter range. Original plans were to chain and reseed 1,900 acres of Division Divi-sion controlled lands last fall, but only 376 acres have been completed, according to Lands Development Superintendent, Don Christensen. Christensen said, "We are now waiting for a January or February thaw, otherwise work will not be completed until next fall. Contractors at th? Birdseye rehabilitation site in Utah County took from October 16 to November 16 to complete 376 acres. Normally they can chain 50 acres per day." The other rehabilitation areas are near Mona and Levan. Range rehabilitation includes chaining out pin yon and juniper trees using an anchor chain pulled by crawler tractors. This reduces competition between the trees and useful deeT food plants. It is followed by aerial broadestaing of seed. The are is then chained a second time, the opposite direction, to cover the seeds and finish uprooting trees. Some trees are then pushed into washes and gullies to act as plugs and prevent erosion. Seventeen seed species were used on the aerial mix at Birds-eye. Birds-eye. The mixture included 6 grasses, 9 forbs and 2 browse species. Ten browse species will be hand broadcast later when weather conditions, permit. . Range rehabilitation work must be completed by late February Feb-ruary because most browse seeds require cold and wet weather to germinate. |
