  • Science to Solutions: Sage Grouse Need Intact Landscapes For Long- Distance Movement

    Creator:
    Sage Grouse Initiative
    Abstract:
    Two new studies revealed unknown long-distance dispersal and migration movements in sage grouse that offer fresh insights for conservation. Using DNA from feathers dropped at leks, scientists discovered that some grouse (about 1% of populations) travel long distances to explore breeding areas up to 120 miles away—movements that can potentially...

  • Science to Solutions: Grazing Management In Perspective: A Compatible Tool For Sage Grouse Conservation

    Creator:
    Sage Grouse Initiative
    Abstract:
    Research evaluating effects of livestock grazing on greater sage-grouse nest survival suggests that a variety of locally-appropriate range management strategies support grouse populations. A new Montana study comparing effects of specialized grazing systems on ranches enrolled in the NRCS-led Sage Grouse Initiative (SGI) to ranches not enrolled in SGI grazing...

  • Science to Solutions: Conifer Removal Boosts Sage Grouse Success

    Creator:
    Sage Grouse Initiative
    Abstract:
    In recent years the Sage Grouse Initiative, led by the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, has worked with many partners to accelerate the mechanical removal of invading conifer trees, primarily junipers, to restore sagebrush habitats in and around sage grouse strongholds across the West. Replicated studies from public and private...

  • Science to Solutions: Reducing Cultivation of Grazing Lands Conserves Sage Grouse

    Creator:
    Sage Grouse Initiative
    Abstract:
    In the northeast part of sage grouse range, 70% of the best habitat is privately owned – and the single greatest threat in this region is cultivation of native sagebrush grazing lands. Scientists assessed lands in eastern Montana, the western Dakotas, and northeast Wyoming to evaluate potential impacts to sage...
