The South Central Sage-Grouse Local Working Group (SCSLWG) met in Saratoga in July to review project funding applications for projects that benefit sage-grouse conservation efforts.
The SCSLWG reviewed conservation project applications and awarded $100,000 toward the following projects:
University of Wyoming - Response of greater sage-grouse to treatments in Wyoming big sagebrush, $42,000
WEST Inc. — 7-Mile Hill wind energy research, $25,000
Utah State University - Raven research in Wyoming, $20,000
Bureau of Land Management - Ferris Mountain and Bradley Peak conifer removal projects, $13,000
The SCSLWG is one of eight local working groups statewide. Each is composed of citizens representing various stakeholder groups interested in sage-grouse conservation and associated land management issues. The SCSLWG Conservation Plan can be obtained from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s website at: http://wgfd.wyo.gov/web2011/Departments/Wildlife/pdfs/SG_SC_CONSERVPLAN0005526.pdf
