Do you have a project involving sagebrush or wetlands in the Intermountain West?

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is now accepting proposals for its Rocky Mountain Rangelands Program (RMR). RMR works in focal landscapes in the region to restore and conserve wildlife species associated with sagebrush, irrigated meadows, and aquatic systems while conserving the phenomenon of large mammal migration.

The following practices will be given priority consideration during this funding cycle: 

  • Mesic area/wet meadow restoration on Bureau of Land Management lands that may also include cross jurisdictional land ownership

  • Innovative and strategic management of annual invasive grasses in Idaho

  • Capacity that supports the delivery of conservation easements through Farm Bill programs in Utah 

  • Monitoring sagebrush obligate songbird (sagebrush sparrow and sage thrasher) populations in response to management activities 

Proposals are due August 4th, and there will be a webinar for prospective applicants on June 30th. Read more here.
