Abandoned agricultural fields are often a component of WDFW wildlife areas. The history of a typical ag field is a cycle of disturbance and cultivation and once abandoned they provide the perfect conditions for weedy, low-value vegetation to become established. Campbell Field on the Asotin Creek Wildlife Area is an example with its 260 acres occupied by the introduced species smooth brome. Smooth brome is a drought tolerant, rhizomatous species that is strongly competitive and difficult to eradicate once established. This smooth brome dominated field has low plant diversity and provides little habitat value to most wildlife species. Fortunately, a WDFW sharp-tail grouse habitat restoration project has developed a methodology that has successfully restored over 2,000 acres of weed dominated ag fields to mixed native habitat. The method combines the appropriate agricultural equipment, integrated vegetation management techniques, local native seed mixes, and monitoring over several years to develop a weed-resistant native plant community. The Campbell Field project will use these methods to: -Create 260 acres of habitat by planting locally adapted native grasses and forbs. -Increase wildlife carrying capacity and diversity on existing WDFW lands. -Quantify local vegetation utilization by grazers to improve maintenance/management activities. -Educate and train new WDFW staff in restoration techniques.
