The joint hearing by the Senate Resources & Conservation Committee and the House Resources and Conservation Committee will be held on Monday, February 13th at 1:30pm in the Senate and House Auditorium Room on the Garden Level of the State Capitol Building (Room WW02). Virgil Moore of IDFG will be speaking about the biology of the bird, Bill Meyers of Holland and Hard will discuss the current status of litigation and the timing for a re-evaluation of a new listing determination, and I will address the State’s policy position, as well as the Governor’s decision on the path forward. It should be informative and I hope many of you can attend!

ARS Scientists Study Effects of Grazing on Grouse Habitat

By Ann Perry
April 30, 2010
Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists at the Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center in Burns, Ore., are taking a careful look at how grazing cattle affect sage-grouse habitat on high desert rangelands.

Cattle share this habitat with sage-grouse, which are chicken-sized birds that are notorious for the showy commotion they create during mating season. But the sage-grouse numbers have declined throughout their range, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has added the species as a candidate for Endangered Species Act protection. FWS will review the status of the sage-grouse annually to determine whether it warrants more immediate attention for being listed as an endangered species.
