The Northeast Wyoming Sage-grouse Local Working Group (NEW LWG) is accepting grant applications for projects that address the primary threats to sage-grouse. Proposed projects will be evaluated based on consistency with Wyoming’s Core Area management strategy, local sage grouse conservation plan, the likelihood of success, project readiness, matching funds, multiple species benefits, significance at the local/state/regional level, duration of benefits, and adequacy of monitoring. Preferences will be given to on-the-ground habitat enhancements.
Full application details may be downloaded at Project Proposal Form Proposals are due April 17, 2023. For questions contact Nyssa Whitford, Game and Fish sage grouse/sagebrush biologist, at nyssa.whitford@wyo.gov or (307) 335-2633.
The eight local Sage-Grouse Working Groups are comprised of state and federal agency representatives and other stakeholders with local interests such as agriculture, industry, and conservation. These groups work to facilitate and implement conservation plans that benefit the Greater Sage-Grouse, their sagebrush habitat, and other species that also use these habitats.
