GBRC Home The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' Great Basin Research Center, located in Ephraim, Utah, conducts forest and rangeland restoration research needed to implement effective wildlife habitat conservation programs statewide. The primary objective is to develop the Division's capability to restore poor-condition big game winter ranges. Much of this research is carried out on public lands in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management and various National Forests. When this unique program began, it was widely recognized that millions of acres of depleted western ranges needed rehabilitation; however, no one had plant materials, equipment or the know-how to accomplish this daunting but important task. Today, range rehabilitation is a well established and economically important science that benefits both private and public lands. Clean water and air, abundant high quality forage, aesthetic panoramas and productive wildlife habitat are some of the products of rangeland rehabilitation made possible by research at the Great Basin Research Center. The research performed at the GBRC is funded by Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration (Grant Title: Wildlife Habitat Restoration Studies, Grant No. W-82-R) Personnel Jason Vernon — Program Manager, JasonVernon@utah.gov Contact information Office/Warehouse: Utah Division of Wildlife Resources |
