Natural Resource Projects & Practices
Sagebrush Landscape Restoration
This National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) funded grant primarily focuses on restoring lost hydrology to wet meadow, mesic, and wetland areas. This position works on restoring, enhancing, and/or protecting sagebrush steppe, maintaining/building strong collaborative partnerships, communicating about the program, and ensures a well-trained workforce exists to deliver supporting landscape scale conservation. Works with landowners, local, state, federal, and NGOs. Landscape scale improvements to these limited resources are expected to benefit from implementation across jurisdictional boundaries and are expected to have the greatest impact to sage-steppe obligates and associated species.

Tracker tells stories at a broad-brush level. Individual project performance measures and expenditures should not be relied upon for complete and total accuracy and should be confirmed with a project's lead implementer. Project locations subject to confidentiality provisions under state and federal law specify the location of a local conservation district or USDA service center office.
