Greater Sage Grouse featured in Foothills Audubon Virtual meeting, tonight, 7 pm

['Irene Fortune]

US Bureau of Land Management is revising their habitat management plan
for Greater Sage Grouse.  Again!

This time, BLM is taking comments from the public until February 6.  If
you'd like to make comment to BLM - or like to learn more about the
iconic Greater Sage Grouse - then Tuesday is your chance to learn the
history and latest developments directly from Daly Edmunds, Director of
Policy and Outreach for Audubon Rockies.

Greater Sage-grouse are found across 11 western states in North
America’s largest but often overlooked ecosystem. This inconspicuous
lekking species was once so prevalent that they fed many pioneers during
their grueling westward journeys. Today, with a majority of the birds
found on public lands, they’ve become a political football. In this
presentation, Daly will discuss the political intrigue that has plagued
its management, review the threats to its habitat, and share the latest
science (spoiler alert: they aren’t doing well!).

Here is the link to join in.  Program will start promptly at 7 pm.
