Guiding Principles
Stronger together
Close collaboration and shared decision making is critical to successfully manage invasive annual grasses across boundaries and at the statewide scale.
Driven by data and experience
Each time a management action is taken, there is the potential to learn. IMAGINE will collaboratively plan, collect, analyze, and interpret big data from multiple partners to refine our management and potential for success.
Community-focused and engaged statewide
Planning and implementation of management and research must be tailored to local needs and conditions while fitting into the broader context of a large-scale strategy.
Forward Looking
Success with invasive annual grasses is a long-term proposition. IMAGINE will combine active management and non-traditional academic endeavors to ensure that students, collaborators, and partners learn together to build a lasting view and commitment to managing natural resources in Wyoming and the West into the future.
