Event: Sagebrush Planting in McCaffery Fire Scar
Location: Redmond Airport (exact coordinates given the day before)
Join us in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to plant 200 Wyoming sagebrush plugs in the McCaffery fire scar before winter comes! This is the second planting of sagebrush plugs in the McCaffrey fire scar. The first planting was conducted in March 2025. We’ve been invited again by the BLM to help with planting.
On July 6th, 2024, the McCaffrey fire burned 458 acres east of the Redmond airport. Sagebrush do not re-seed after fires, so it is imperative for land managers to plant sagebrush after intense fire burns. BLM staff will have an augur to make planting easier. Volunteers can bring gardening gloves and gardening kneel pads/sit pads. An email will be sent out on exact location to meet and park. Expect to complete volunteering by noon.
