by Wyoming Game & Fish
March 14, 2012
The Upper Green River Basin Local Sage-Grouse Working Group will hold their next meeting at 10:00 A.M., Wednesday, March 21, 2012, at the Pinedale Game and Fish Office located at 432 East Mill Street in Pinedale.
The group will be discussing the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management planning effort to incorporate sage-grouse conservation measures into their land use plans. There will also be a discussion on sage-grouse conservation efforts by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service. Additional topics will include a report from the Raven Subcommittee and review of a project to map and treat cheatgrass and other invasive plants in the Green River basin.
The public is invited to attend the meeting and a public participation period will be scheduled. For additional meeting details you may contact Pete Guernsey at 307-367-3943.
The group is one of eight local working groups that were formed across the state. The group comprises local citizens representing groups interested in sage-grouse conservation. The role of the group is to develop and set in motion local conservation plans to benefit sage-grouse and, whenever feasible, other species that use sagebrush habitats. More information on sage-grouse, the local working groups and their management plans can be found on the Wyoming Game & Fish website at http://gf.state.wy.us/web2011/wildlife-1000382.aspx.
