This grant is for a critical ecological study focusing on mule deer in Wyoming’s Chokecherry unit. The primary purpose is to ascertain winter habitat use patterns, both prior to and during the development of wind power facilities. Researchers will evaluate the impact of wind energy infrastructure on the migratory behavior of these deer, aiming to understand potential disruptions or changes. A key objective is to establish a robust baseline dataset, which will be invaluable for future conservation efforts and sustainable development planning. The findings will inform strategies to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts and ensure the long-term health of mule deer populations amidst energy development.
