Controlling Invasive Grasses to Improve Forage & Mitigate Wildfire Risk
Tuesday, August 26th | 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Paisley Community Center
705 Chewaucan St. Paisley, OR 97636
Join us for an evening workshop focused on improving rangeland health through effective invasive grass management. Participants will learn about Rejuvra®, a new herbicide tool with a full grazing label that offers up to four years of control with a single application.
This long-lasting approach helps native perennial plants recover and outcompete invasive annual grasses such as cheatgrass, medusahead, and ventenata. By targeting these species, landowners can:
- Boost forage availability for livestock
- Improve wildlife habitat
- Reduce wildfire risk
- Support long-term ranch profitability
Attendees will hear directly from land managers and range experts on the practical applications, outcomes, and financial benefits of this tool.
