The Nature Conservancy is working with the Owyhee Local Sage Grouse Working Group and Jordan Valley Coordinated Weed Management Area to use this machine - called a juniper masticator - to chomp up the spreading junipers. When the juniper trees are reduced in number sage grouse habitat it improved.
Note! for some reason the YouTube videos are not showing up in the pop-up windows in this upload. The pop up windows for the 360 panoramas do display and the links to the panoramas do display on in a web browser. However, the back button on the panorama page takes you back to the the beginning of the tour I will try to remedy the YouTube and panorama issues if I can, ASAP!
The Google Earth Tour below provides eight short video sequences and three 360 degree interactive panorama photographic views describing the process and the results in 2010 & 2011.
Here is a link to a web site that contains all of the videos and panoramas in 540p High Definition.
Here is a link to the Google Earth KMZ file you can open in the Google Earth Browser. The YouTube videos and panoramas do open correctly if you use this file.

Boise River at High Water June 3, 2011 Google Earth Plug In Tour
The Google Earth Plug in will play this file in your chosen web browser.
To start this tour use the "Play" > arrow in the controller bar on the bottom left of the map. (You can pause this play function and navigate around at your leisure and open placemark information windows if you wish.)
Idaho Rivers United and the Land Trust for the Treasure Valley partnered with LightHawk pilot, Bob Peterson and Gary Grimm of Mountain Visions to capture more than 200 aerial photographs of the Boise River on June 3, 2011, from the Glenwood Bridge to the Snake River on the Oregon Idaho border. This Google Earth Tour provides a sample of a dozen of these photos, with short explanatory descriptions, placed at the locations where they were taken during the flight.
As you play this tour some web browsers may have the "Historical Imagery" slider enabled at the top left of the window. Pause the player and close down any windows that are open and you can move the slider back and forth to see development stages along the Boise River over time.
Here is a link to a kmz file that will allow you to download it to Google Earth and use the "Historical Slider" and additional layers that Google Earth provides.

Idaho Highway 12 Megaload Tour using a 3D truck model
To start this tour use the "Play" > arrow in the controller bar on the bottom left of the map. (You can pause this play function and navigate around at your leisure and open placemark information windows if you wish.)
I imported an original Google Map made by the All Against the Haul people in Montana into the Google Earth 3D program and added placemark locations on a few selected Idaho Highway 12 bridges and narrow places. I was also able to find a 3D Heavy Transport truck model in the Google 3D Warehouse that looks generally similar to one of the megaloads and placed a copy of this at these selected locations.(Here is a link to the 3D truck model created by Nasranejsanta)
All Against the Haul also has a Facebook page where they are posting regular updated news on Megaload travel locations and other issues citizens in Idaho, Montana and Canada would be interested in.
In the Google Earth6 Browser we can now use the "Street View" to move into and look around at interactive photographic panorama views of each of these locations, but I was unable to get that function to work in the embedded Google Earth Plugin tour above. This might be possible to do, but so far I have not found the solution. Meanwhile if you open this KMZ file in the Google Earth 6 Browser and play the MegaloadTour (Play this first) file you can see these street views yourself. Pause the controller bar and move up and down the highway to see how it really looks photographically, as if you are driving along the the same Highway 12 as the Megaloads.
