Project Description

Duck Valley and Fort Hall Reservations have expansive, contiguous, intact sagebrush sagebrush
The western United States’ sagebrush country encompasses over 175 million acres of public and private lands. The sagebrush landscape provides many benefits to our rural economies and communities, and it serves as crucial habitat for a diversity of wildlife, including the iconic greater sage-grouse and over 350 other species.

Learn more about sagebrush habitat. This project will support mesic restoration, invasive annual grass treatments, removal of conifers, and fuel break establishment. This project aims to improve sagebrush lands managed by the two Tribes of southern Idaho and Northern Nevada.
