North Douglas County Shrub-Steppe Restoration
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to convert 413 acres in the Sagebrush Flat and Wells Wildlife Areas that are covered in non-native grasses and noxious weeds to shrub-steppe habitat. In their present condition, the fields are of little ecological value. Restoration will increase shrub-steppe habitat and improve connectivity through the wildlife areas and nearby. This will benefit animals, including the Columbian sharp-tailed grouse and sage grouse. There are active sharp-tailed grouse leks in the area. Restoration of these fields will provide places for the grouse to nest, raise their young, and hide from predators. (08-1584)
