Douglas Rabbitbrush is used as a reclamation species and, when called for, establishes quickly and produces good cover for wildlife and excellent erosion control. It has little to no value as a forage species. Sheep and cattle occasionally use it for browse when other feed is not available. Deer browse lightly on it in the summer and winter. Elk utilize it in the winter.

Douglas rabbitbrush can be a somewhat weedy plant, increasing where there has been serious damage to the more desirable forage. It quickly and aggressively invades disturbed, open sites including burns and overgrazed rangelands.

Douglas rabbitbrush was used by the Southwest indians as gum. When growing in alkali soils it actually contains rubber.
