This grant is offered by the Department of Fish and Wildlife to improve connectivity for the recovery of Gunnison sage-grouse populations. The project involves mechanically treating areas with encroaching pinyon-juniper trees to restore sage-grouse habitat. The grant recipient will need to provide project details for review and approval before project initiation to ensure National Historic Preservation Act Compliance. Applications are accepted until November 21, 2017.

| Description: | Improving connectivity between the satellite populations and the Gunnison Basin is an important step for the recovery of Gunnison sage-grouse. Restoring connectivity between fragmented communities is important for recovery because it will help improve population demographics and gene flow that is needed to maintain species viability.
The project includes mechanically treating (mowing) areas of encroaching pinyon-juniper trees that currently have healthy established sagebrush understory within Gunnison sage-grouse habitat. In addition, the treatment will remove remnant tree skeletons that remain from fire where current understory exhibits sagebrush reestablishment. Mastication of trees will be accomplished using a Hydro-Axe. Other habitat treatment include zee-dike installation or other hydrological restoration activities. The recipient will provide project specific details to the Service before project initiation to be reviewed and approved for National Historic Preservation Act Compliance. |
