The BLM Wyoming is offering this grant to establish a cooperative partnership aimed at studying the impacts of wind farm development on Greater-Sage Grouse and their habitat in the Rawlins, WY resource area. This grant is for the purpose of understanding the changes these facilities represent to the birds and their environment. The study may utilize a before-after control-impact methodology and will also investigate sage grouse responses to existing wind facilities. Researchers should consider using BLM administered lands as potential control sites, provided habitat and populations are suitable for comparative analysis to answer critical questions regarding conservation in areas with energy development.

| Description: | BLM Wyoming seeks to foster a cooperative partnership to accomplish a study that is needed in the Rawlins, WY resource area to identify how wind farm development would impact sage-grouse and what changes these facilities represent to the birds and their habitat. While a before-after control-impact study may prove useful. It would also be beneficial to identify sage grouse response to existing facilities. These facilities need not be on public surface yet BLM administered lands may serve as an excellent control if habitat and populations prove to be adequate as a control for such a study to attempt to answer these questions. |
