About Nancy
The Wind River/Bighorn Basin BLM District and adjacent private and state lands contain some of the most intact, diverse, and productive sagebrush steppe remaining in the American West and approximately 25% of Wyoming’s designated Priority Habitat Management Areas for Greater Sage-grouse. In partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the University of Wyoming’s Institute for Managing Annual Grasses Invading Natural Ecosystems (IMAGINE), and the IWJV have recruited Nancy Webb as the Wind River/Bighorn Basin District Invasive Annual Grass Coordinator.
This position will be field-based and dedicated to accelerating the conservation of the sagebrush steppe with the specific task of addressing invasive annual grasses in northwestern Wyoming. In this position Nancy will work closely with a network of federal, state and local partners to develop and implement strategic invasive annual grass programs in the region. These efforts will help with managing fuel loads and initiating grazing allotment projects to address the threats of invasive annual grasses, conifer expansion, and wet meadow riparian habitat degradation.
