Home Ranch Water Distribution - Phase II
Funding Year | Amount | Location |
FY22 | $51,166 | Lander, Nevada |
Project Description
The Reese River is a tributary of the Humboldt River but in recent years has dwindled into a chain of shallow pools before it reaches the Humboldt River. A pipeline and troughs will be installed to provide water for livestock and wildlife in this sagebrush sagebrush
The western United States’ sagebrush country encompasses over 175 million acres of public and private lands. The sagebrush landscape provides many benefits to our rural economies and communities, and it serves as crucial habitat for a diversity of wildlife, including the iconic greater sage-grouse and over 350 other species.
