Project Description
This project will enhance vegetation communities in the 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 ecosystem and protect/restore wetlands and mesic habitats. Activities to be funded under this proposal include removing and replacing older fencing and replacing with wildlife friendly fencing to facilitate grazing management. Areas benefiting from this new fencing would include controlled grazing on sagebrush habitats and protection of the springs and wetland systems.
