Riparian Ecosystem Recovery Photo Gallery

In 1998 successful litigation halted grazing in some areas. Shown below are these river areas - before and five years after - cattle were removed. The photos document amazing riparian ecosystem recovery. You can help us continue to educate the public and help us work to end over-grazing on public lands.
