The BLM Oregon/Washington is offering this grant to support critical research for sagebrush/steppe habitat restoration, vital for sage grouse conservation. This department has been actively engaged in seed collection and reintroduction of native species. However, successful restoration techniques for this plant community are poorly understood. This grant is for addressing long-standing challenges in ecological recovery from past range management practices. Investigations will delve into various biological and ecological attributes, including germination, viability, genetic pollination, and other factors, to enhance the understanding of sage grouse and develop effective solutions for species use in restoration efforts. The aim is to overcome past limitations and foster robust, sustainable habitats.

| Description: | BLM has been engaged with restoration of sagebrush/steppe habitat for sage grouse for several years. Seeds from native grass, forb and shrub species have been collected, grown out for seed production and reintroduced in restoration sites. Prior work with restoration of this plant community using locally native species has been limited and successful techniques poorly understood. This research will address long-neglected challenges by studying the sagebrush community, which may takes years to recover from ineffective range management practices. Investigations may include germination, viability, genetic pollination or other biological or ecological attributes that contribute to understanding of the sage grouse and solutions for species use in restoration. |
