HOME VIDEO INFORMATION DESERT GRAZING FACTS
	"Probably no single land use has had greater effect on the vegetation of southeastern Arizona or has led to more changes in the landscape than livestock grazing range management programs.  Undoubtedly, grazing since the 1870s has led to soil erosion, destruction of those plants most palatable to livestock, changes in regional fire ecology, the spread of both native and alien plants, and changes in the age structure of evergreen woodlands and riparian forests." – C.J. Bahre, A Legacy of Change: Historic Human Impact on Vegetation of the Arizona Borderlands, 1991.
