This grant from the BLM Applegate Field Office is dedicated to assessing the impacts of pinyon and juniper woodland removal on the wildlife community within the Vya Project Planning Area. The Bureau of Land Management has been implementing these extensive treatments over the past three years, primarily to maintain and restore vital sagebrush habitat for the Greater sage-grouse. While these efforts aim to support sagebrush-dependent species, there is a critical need for data on how these large-scale woodland removals affect the entire community of wildlife species using the area. This grant is for addressing this significant data gap, providing essential insights into the broader ecological consequences of these management practices.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Bureau of Land Management |
| Description: | The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Applegate Field Office has selected pinyon and juniper (Pinus and Juniperus spp.) woodlands across the Great Basin for removal in their efforts to maintain sagebrush habitat for the Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). These large, spatially replicated management efforts provide an opportunity to investigate the impacts of woodland removal on both those species that are reliant on sagebrush and those likely to be negatively affected by the decreased woodlands. The BLM Applegate Field Office has engaged in woodland removal during the past three years within the Vya Project Planning Area and continues to implement treatments. BLM is lacking data on treatment effects to the community of wildlife species using the area. |
