The Next Steppe is a conference about rangeland fire, sage-steppe habitat and sage-grouse. More than a gathering to share information, this conference aims to end with a clear path forward and the foundation of a comprehensive strategy that combines the best scientific knowledge and operational practices to improve and restore sagebrush ecosystems.

If you cannot make it to Boise, you can still participate online.

To encourage active participation among those attending the conference virtually as well as in-person, two different technologies will be available to share presentations and discussions, providing a virtual space for questions, ideas, and general feedback.

You can comment on/rate other participants' ideas, as well as submit your own.�� MindMixer requires a quick registration using your email address or by connecting through your existing social media accounts.
