Bodmer Overlook will be closed from May 1-15, 2019.
This closure is due to an experimental animal based treatment of non-native vegetation within the Overlook boundaries.
Approximately 50 cattle will be held in the Overlook to graze the non-native vegetation, primarily Smooth Brome and Crested Wheatgrass. These two grass species are the first to "green-up" and will be preferred by the cattle grazing the site.
The grazing will be monitored closely to ensure that the overall grazing of the Overlook area will not harm the native plants. Once the grazing objective have been met the Overlook will be re-opened, likely prior to May 15.
