This grant is for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Applegate Field Office, to collaborate with a partner to monitor sage-grouse habitat use and demographic structure. The project will assess the impact of ongoing juniper removal habitat improvement projects within the Vya Project Planning Area. Key components include quantifying population-level responses at local and landscape scales, monitoring vegetation changes post-juniper removal, and measuring the fitness response of individual birds. The aim is to determine the effectiveness of these treatments, inform the design and prioritization of future conservation efforts in high-priority habitats, and enhance public understanding of sage-grouse population dynamics and trends within the Vya Project. This initiative is crucial for effective wildlife management.

| Description: | The Bureau of Land Management, Applegate Field Office will collaborate with a partner to monitor sage-grouse habitat use and demographic structure in relation to on-going habitat improvement projects -juniper removal- within the Vya Project Planning Area. A hierarchical assessment will consist of the following components: 1. quantifying sage-grouse population-level responses -habitat use and demographics) at local and landscape scales; 2. monitoring changes in vegetation within areas where juniper removal occurs; and 3. measuring the fitness response of individual birds to juniper removal. This project will allow BLM to determine treatment effectiveness and to design and prioritize future treatments within high-priority habitats. This project will also contribute to public understanding of population dynamics and trend within the Vya Project Planning Area. |
