Sharp-tailed Grouse, Phase 3
- Status
- Funded in 1999
This project proposes to protect habitat crucial to the survival of Columbian sharp-tailed grouse. This species was listed this year as State Threatened. The WA State Management Plan for Sharp-tailed Grouse has identified the protection of the remaining shrub-steppe and associated riparian habitats as key to the survival of sharp-tail populations. This project will seek acquisitions and conservation easements on priority habitats in Douglas and Okanogan Counties; this is Phase 3 of an ongoing project to protect key sites. Other species that will benefit include sage thrasher, sage sparrow, loggerhead shrike, and white-tailed jackrabbit. Funding for long term operation and management of these properties is committed through Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and Douglas County PUD.
