Project Description

Existing standardized land bird survey data collected over many years in and near the bi-state area will be analyzed to create models describing the responses of multiple 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.

Learn more about sagebrush obligate songbirds to disturbances and vegetation treatments across a range of scales. This analysis leverages significant investments made by multiple agencies over 20 years to collect these data, and "closes the loop" by providing timely insight and knowledge to support management planning and prioritization.
