Sheep vs. cheatgrass: Boise State’s new battle for Idaho’s rangelands

In 1984, a ranger stationed in the Ketchum Ranger District wrote to a local land manager about an invasive grass taking hold in Sawtooth National Forest.

“This piece of ground is in poor vegetative condition because it is infested with cheatgrass,” he warned.

That section of land, a few miles northwest of Hailey, Idaho, was lost. But 40 years later, a Boise State-led team has returned to the same area to tackle the same problem.
