Sagebrush
Sagebrush is a woody shrub found in arid regions of North America, particularly in the western United States. Its silvery-green leaves are small and narrow, which helps the plant conserve water in the dry climate it thrives in. Sagebrush plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, providing habitat and food for various wildlife species, such as mule deer and pronghorn antelope. Additionally, it has been used by Indigenous peoples for medicinal and cultural purposes for centuries. Despite facing threats from urbanization and agriculture, efforts are being made to conserve and protect sagebrush habitats to ensure the survival of this iconic plant species.
