Gunnison Sage Grouse Habitat Restoration Project
Volunteers will assist BLM staff in restoring sensitive habitat for the threatened Gunnison Sage-Grouse. The work will include lopping down small pinyon and juniper trees and scattering them on the ground. This will enhance the habitat for the sage grouse due to their aversion to tall trees and potential for predators to perch on those trees. The felled trees help retain soil moisture and provide habitat for small animals, also playing a role in improving the landscape for Gunnison sage-grouse habitat.
