Wildlife Ecology Unit

Greater Sage-Grouse Range-wide Issues Forum

The Forest Service National Wildlife Ecology Unit joined with other federal agencies to plan and conduct a workshop held in April 2006 to discuss the science and technology needed for compatible development of energy resources and conservation of raptors. 

Seventy-seven invitees were present representing federal and state agencies, energy industries, and non-governmental organizations.  A report reflects outcomes of the workshop, including recommendations for follow-up actions and strategies for maintaining the momentum and partnerships initiated at the workshop.
