The Department of Wildlife Resources is offering a grant to conduct a research project assessing the impacts of feral horses and livestock grazing on sage-grouse and their habitats. The study aims to examine various hypotheses, including the influence of shrub cover and understory vegetation on nest survival, the effects of feral horses and livestock on vegetation height and ground cover, and the impact on the survival of adult female sage-grouse. The goal is to provide valuable management recommendations based on the findings. Grant applications are open until December 15, 2016.
