Слайд 2As another round of wildfires ravages the West,
the question arises,

as it does every year...

Слайд 3What’s the best way to get plants growing quickly on land

now so susceptible to flash flooding and catastrophic erosion?

Слайд 4In the 1980s a couple of innovative ranchers discovered that the

most effective way to heal very damaged land is by enlisting the help of animals.

Слайд 5This is a pile of copper mine tailings near Globe, Arizona

— a pile of sterile rock dust 300 feet high and 1,100 acres huge.

Слайд 6In 1989 an Arizona rancher spread seeds and hay on that

pile and enlisted the help of cows to till-in and fertilize the mix.

Слайд 7Note: This is not a grazing program. In most cases there’s

nothing to graze. This is a land restoration process employing animals as the primary restorers.

In 1989 an Arizona rancher spread seeds and hay on that pile and enlisted the help of cows to till-in and fertilize the mix.

Слайд 8This is the result.

Here’s another example of working with

animals to heal very damaged land...

Слайд 10Two Nevada ranchers tackled that challenge with seeds, hay, and cows.

Слайд 11Gold mine near Austin, Nevada, October 1989
Restoration is in progress.
Seeds

have been spread.
Cows are eating, trampling and fertilizing.

Same mine 8 months after restoration.

1 year
after restoration

Слайд 12This land was burned by a large wildfire near Grand Junction,

Colorado, 4 years before this photo was taken.

So, what does this have to do with fire?

Слайд 13It was a big fire.

Слайд 14In this case, a flock of sheep provided the “restoration workers.”

Слайд 15The results one year later.

Слайд 16These photos were taken in May 2011.
The Schultz Pass Fire near

Flagstaff, Arizona, burned in June 2010.

Слайд 17The fire burned so hot it caused rocks to split. The

intense heat sterilized the soil and capped it with a rain-repelling crust.

Слайд 18When a storm dumped 2 inches of rain on those crusted

slopes it caused a huge flashflood, one fatality, and much damage to nearby homes and property.

Слайд 19To keep that from happening again, an effort to revegetate the

land included dropping bales of straw from helicopters.

Слайд 20Not tilled into the soil, the straw remained on the surface

to wash or blow away.

Слайд 21The same tactic (spreading straw without tilling) was tried after a

large wildfire threatened Arizona’s spectacular Oak Creek Canyon with catastrophic flooding.

Слайд 22

Слайд 23How well do animals counter erosion by tilling in added organic

material?

The Globe mine restoration cattle trampled organic matter 12 inches and more into the loose tailings creating a foot of living soil.

Слайд 24How well does that resist erosion?

Слайд 25This is that same Globe mine slope still resisting erosion (and

getting a little touchup) 17 years after restoration.
