Reference Title	The Importance of Federal Grazing Allotments to Central Sierran Oak Woodland Permittees: A First Approximation
Date Published	2002
Authors	Adriana Sulak and Lynn Huntsinger
Summary	The interlinkage of privately owned foothill oak woodlands and federal grazing permits in the central Sierra Nevada is examined. Knowledge of the viability of the range livestock industry is important to large-scale conservation of hardwood rangelands in the Sierra foothills. Because ranches in the Sierra often use USDA Forest Service grazing allotments, efforts at land conservation may be influenced by Forest Service grazing decisions.
