SageCon Landscape Planning Tool

The SageCon Landscape Planning Tool is a web-based interactive map to view, explore and download spatial data related to sagebrush and sage-grouse in Oregon. The Viewer includes a wide range of datasets relating to vegetation condition, sage-grouse habitat, development and restoration potential, wildfire, and management designations. See the SageCon Tools Navigator for more SageCon tools.

SageCon Vegetation Maps

Many rangeland vegetation products are available throughout the west - see the curated list of products available in Oregon and across the West and the Rangeland Assessment and Management Tools resource page for guidance and more resources for using maps in rangeland management. In addition, the SageCon Partnership has developed synthesis maps for targeted purposes. These synthesis maps include:

• The Threat-Based Land Management (TBLM) Ecostate Time Series maps depict change in Oregon rangeland condition from the mid-1980s to present. TBLM (also called threat models) provides a simplified framework for land managers to efficiently identify, communicate and address the landscape-level threats of invasive annual grasses, wildfire and juniper encroachment in sagebrush rangelands. The most recent Ecostate Map, depicting conditions from 2015-2019, can be used for current condition assessment, and the full time series can be used to evaluate change over time in Oregon rangelands. See the Ecostate Time Series overview for more information. The most recent map can be viewed or downloaded from from the SageCon Landscape Planning Tool and the full time series can be downloaded directly.
• The SageCon Invasives Initiative geographic strategy maps in October 2020 for addressing invasive annual grasses in Oregon rangelands. The invasives geographic strategy provides landscape context for the management of annual grasses and can be used to help "defend and grow the core" for proactive management. More information can be found on the Invasives Initiative webpage and data can be downloaded directly.
