One of the World's Most Endangered Ecosystem (and how we can save it)

Wet Meadows provide critical habitat to the majority of species in the Southern Cascades. Since Colonization, over grazing and lack of fire have disrupted the health of this vital ecosystem.

I didn’t know that about meadows. 🌱Is that considered a type of wetlands? 💦
What about encroachment? I want to know more about it🤔

The Meadows I’m referring to in the video are Wet Meadows, and Wet Meadows are considered Wetlands.
I will be glad to explain Wet Meadows and Meadow Encroachment. I plan to make a video about each one. When I do and post them, I’ll let you know.
Thanks for commenting

Do you know the approximate current size of this meadow? How Does its current size compare to its pre fire-exclusion area?

That’s a question I’ve been considering for some time now. I plan to answer that as best I can and put it in another video coming soon.
