Final Methods
USFS fuels staff masticated 1,371 acres of expanding pinyon and juniper trees. Skid-steers were equipped with dribblers spreading bitterbrush seed to increase habitat value for winter mule deer habitat. Lop and scatter operations were contracted for a total of 3,508 acres. Four sage grouse collars were installed to track the effects of treatment.

Project Narrative
USFS and DWR staff coordinated project area prioritization using past radio-tracking data and treatment methods to target best possible outcomes for sage grouse and high interest game species. Treatments focused on increasing travel corridors for sage grouse moving between winter and summer range.
*
Future Management
Sage grouse populations will continue to be monitored. Long term range study sites will be maintained to track vegetation response to treatment. Periodic re-treatment of expanding juniper and pinyon trees will occur as funding and staff time allows.
