This grant, offered by the BLM Wyoming – Buffalo Field Office, aims to reduce unnecessary impacts on breeding greater sage grouse, a BLM sensitive species. Currently, wildlife consultants are making up to twelve visits annually to sage grouse leks due to uncoordinated survey efforts stemming from Coal Bed Natural Gas well permit conditions. This project seeks to significantly cut down these visits, ideally to no more than three per year. The objective is to protect sage grouse populations in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin by streamlining survey protocols and mitigating disturbances to their breeding grounds. This initiative will contribute to better conservation outcomes for this vital species.

| Description: | The BLM Wyoming – Buffalo Field Office has identified a need to reduce the number of visits to greater sage grouse leks occurring as a result of conditions of approval applied to Coal Bed Natural Gas well permits. Wildlife consultants were visiting leks up to a dozen times each year, when no more than three visits were necessary. These unneeded visits were a product of uncoordinated survey efforts.
The project objective is to reduce impacts to breeding greater sage grouse, a BLM sensitive species, in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin by reducing unnecessary visits to leks. |
