  • The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) plans to deliver the sagebrush seedlings to the site in boxes.
  • There is no flexibility to include the second week of November in the planting dates.
  • The planting should be done using a small tool that creates a narrow slice in the vegetation and soil, rather than a hole.
