About Emma
The Southwest Montana Sagebrush Partnership (SMSP) is working to coordinate cross-boundary land stewardship work in Montana’s southwest sagebrush steppe ecosystem. Partners seeking to enhance conservation and restoration efforts across these landscapes include the Beaverhead Conservation District, BLM, and IWJV who are supporting a Southwest Montana Invasive Annual Grass Coordinator Position.

The Southwest Montana Invasive Annual Grass Coordinator will focus on conifer expansion, wet meadow and riparian degradation, invasive annual grasses, and wildlife movement barriers. Fullerton will cultivate relationships with natural resource managers throughout southwest Montana, the surrounding local communities, and private landowners to develop, design, implement, and monitor projects throughout the region.
