Revegetation of disturbed well sites in semi-arid lands requires rapid stabilization of ecological processes and soil resources. The most frequent goal of revegetation is to re-establish an ecosys- tem that will structurally and functionally resemble the undis- turbed native ecosystem. We conducted a three-year experiment at different disturbed well site locations in the San Juan Oil and Gas Producing Basin of the intermountain region of northwest New Mexico to evaluate grass stand establishment of selected cool season native and non-native grasses. Native grasses Arriba western wheatgrass, bottlebrush squirreltail, Paloma Indian rice- grass, San Luis slender wheatgrass, and needle and thread grass, and non-native grasses Canada wild ryegrass and Bozoisky Rus- sian wild ryegrass, established better than the other native and non-native grasses employed in this study, regardless of well site or annual rainfall.
