The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wyoming State Office, is offering this cooperative agreement to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. This grant is for developing a conservation easement on private lands near LaBarge Creek in southwest Wyoming. The primary purpose is to retain the agricultural nature, maintain or enhance wildlife resources like sagebrush communities, greater sage-grouse habitat, and pronghorn migration corridors, and protect other wildlife species. It also aims to limit residential development, preserving the scenic, topographic, and open space resources. These efforts support habitats that interrelate with adjacent BLM-administered lands and contribute to the State’s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy. The project length is one year, with potential for continued funding based on progress and fund availability.
