Abstract

This manuscript discusses the initiation, execution, and outcome of an 11-year (1962-1972) rangeland rehabilitation program in southeastern Oregon. Res. Bull. PNW-RB-070 (1977) is updated with 1986 measurements and evaluations of vegetational conditions, wildlife, recreational use, livestock grazing, and management of public rangelands. The mix of multiple uses has changed since 1977 as a result of new laws, regulations, and public opinion. Perceptions about the management of the area's public land are surveyed. The lessons from this large and successful program should serve as a guide for managing other rangelands.
