Great Basin Restoration Initiative

The Great Basin Restoration Initiative  (GBRI) includes most of Nevada, the western half of Utah, the lower third of Idaho, the southeast corner of Oregon and a narrow strip of eastern California. The vegetation situation in the Great Basin didn't happen overnight.  It has been building for a century.

 The difference between rehabilitation versus restoration is that rehabilitation is a short-term fix aimed at stabilizing the soil after a fire. Restoration is a long-term, landscape-based approach to changing the ecological health of the rangelands.

The GBRI is an umbrella for a number of projects and actions underway to enhance the condition of Nevada's rangelands.  The following are links that provide information about this initiative.
