The USGS is offering this grant to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner to develop advanced spatial tools for fire and fuel break assessment. This grant is for the critical purpose of directly informing Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decisions regarding land management. The developed tools will guide strategic sagebrush planting initiatives, optimize fuel break placement for enhanced fire resilience, and directly assist vital habitat restoration efforts. Ultimately, this funding aims to significantly contribute to the recovery of sage-grouse populations by providing data-driven insights for conservation and land management strategies in the Rocky Mountain region.
