The Department of Environmental Conservation is offering a grant for a study to investigate the food resources available to the San Luis Valley Sandhill Cranes during migration and the potential impact of drought and changing water resources. The project aims to develop a carrying capacity model based on food resources and water availability to assess the adequacy of food for the Rocky Mountain Population of Sandhill Cranes. This grant opportunity seeks to better understand the availability of resources for this important natural resource in the Pacific Flyway. Closing date for applications is Jul 20, 2018.

| Description: | This project will address if there are enough available food resources that the cranes use during migration and if it will change over time due to drought, changing water resources used for barley farming. The goal of the project is to develop a carrying capacity model based on food resources and water availability to determine if there are enough food resources for the current Rocky Mountain Population of Sandhill Carnes. This population of sandhill cranes is a utilized natural resource that is hunted in the Pacific Flyway. |
