Mortality of sage-grouse and other native species is

reducedArtificial avian

predator perches and food resources

are reduced

Avian predator populations

are reduced to natural ranges

Woodland type plant communities

decrease

Connectivity of desired plant

communities is increased across

the landscape

Post-fire plant community recovery favors desired plant

species

Suppressed under-story vegetation

and water resources are released

Extent of perennial bunch grasses and forbs is increased

and their condition is improved

RemoveJuniper

Reduce Human In�uenced Mortality

Artificial food sources, nesting and perching structures, and avian predators

are identified and reduced

Control Invasive Grasses & Weeds

Support Sustainable Grazing Practices

Treatments to control invasive grasses and prevent their spread are implemented Grazing management

plans are developed and carried out

Juniper are removed from sage-grouse habitat

Wildlife escape ramps are installed in livestock watering troughs

Sage-grouse habitat connectivity

is increased and maintained

Habitat providing nesting cover and food for

sage-grouse is restored

The frequency of high-intensity fires

is reduced

Native and desired plant species outcompete

invasive grasses

Outreach & Engagement

Landowner outreach to increase awareness of sage-grouse habitat enhancement

programs is conducted

Private landowner enrollment in voluntary sage-grouse habitat enhancement

programs increases

This graphic was developed by Bonneville Environmental Foundation to support OWEB’s Focused Investment Partnerships grant program, February 2019.

Outreach and engagement foster public values that recognize the

importance of sage-grouse habitats and enable the implementation of

the above strategies.

Fences in high risk collision areas are marked

Movement of sage-grouse between vital resources, breed-

ing locations and populations is

enhanced

Size and spatial extent of sage-

grouse populations is increased
