Additional Information

Agency Name: Bureau of Land Management
Description: The BLM is looking to enter into an agreement with a partner to monitor, evaluate, and report on the overall rangeland health and trends of rangelands identified as crucial to the survival of big game in Utah, as well as sagebrush-steppe restoration areas being completed under the Watershed Restoration Initiative, and greater sage-grouse habitat. We are also looking to coordinate efforts through BLMâ¿¿s Assessment, Inventory and Monitoring (AIM) Strategy and HAF to enhance national data layers and to meet one of our primary goals of integrating monitoring activities to avoid duplication of efforts and to be more efficient in our monitoring activities as needs are identified. The objectives are:

â¿¢ Promote healthy rangelands and contribute to the legacy data that can be used by BLM to assist in assessing the condition and trend of rangelands on public land throughout the state.
â¿¢ Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of sagebrush-steppe restoration activities and the attainment of goals and objectives set forth in a projects proposal. Disseminate information and sharing of knowledge gaps that promote effective treatment strategies.
â¿¢ Evaluate the need for adaptive management to ensure sagebrush-steppe restoration projects are meeting the goals and objectives and providing the habitat values established for the basis of the treatments and ensure that knowledge is applied to future habitat maintenance, enhancement, and restoration projects.
â¿¢ Integrate the BLMâ¿¿s AIM Strategy and HAF into the monitoring efforts to minimize duplication and redundant data collection and consolidate monitoring to further inform national datasets.
â¿¢ Ensure that data and information sharing is publicly available and useable to land management agencies, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and private landowners.
