The Bureau of Land Management in Utah is offering a grant to establish and implement a raptor inventory and monitoring program in high-suitability areas for future development in Western Utah. The project focuses on data collection related to raptors’ presence, nests, breeding patterns, migratory paths, and more, specifically in wind, solar, and geothermal development zones. This valuable information will aid potential developers in understanding and mitigating the impact on raptor populations in these areas. The grant aims to provide essential data for efficient design and implementation of wildlife study plans for renewable energy projects in the West Desert region.

| Description: | Establish and implement a raptor inventory and monitoring program within high suitability areas for future development with the focus at first on wind, solar, and geothermal development zones in the West Desert. This project will focus on data collection (per BLM standards) pertaining to a wide array of raptors including presence/absence, nest locations, species distributions, breeding and fledging data, identification of migratory flight paths, etc. Information obtained through this project will provide valuable information to potential developers regarding raptors within their respective project areas. The Utah State Office and each Field Office will gain valuable data regarding raptors use in areas that are of high value to potential future development, for solar, wind, and geothermal energy resources in the West Desert. This information could be presented to potential renewable energy developers as baseline data used to facilitate the efficient design and implementation of wildlife study plans. |
