Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00024
The Gunnison Sagegrouse Habitat Restoration opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Department of the Interior) discretionary grant focused on habitat work that supports recovery of the Gunnison sage-grouse by improving connectivity between smaller, outlying (satellite) populations and the main Gunnison Basin population. The underlying conservation goal is to reduce the effects of habitat fragmentation so birds can move more effectively across the landscape, which in turn can strengthen population demographics and increase gene flow. Maintaining gene flow is emphasized because it helps sustain long-term genetic diversity and overall species viability, especially when groups are isolated.
The project work described centers on restoring and protecting sagebrush habitat conditions within occupied or suitable Gunnison sage-grouse areas. A primary action is mechanical treatment of pinyon-juniper encroachment into sagebrush ecosystems. Specifically, the project proposes mowing or otherwise mechanically removing expanding pinyon and juniper trees in places where a healthy sagebrush understory is already established, with the intent of keeping those sagebrush communities intact and functional for sage-grouse. The scope also includes removing standing remnant tree skeletons left behind after fire events where the understory is showing sagebrush reestablishment, helping those recovering sites continue transitioning back toward sagebrush-dominated habitat rather than reverting to tree-dominated conditions. The tree removal method referenced is mastication using a Hydro-Axe, which is equipment designed to grind or shred woody vegetation and is commonly used in conifer removal and fuels or habitat treatments.
Beyond vegetation treatment, the opportunity also allows for additional habitat restoration measures tied to hydrology, such as installing zee-dikes or undertaking other hydrologic restoration activities. These types of actions are generally intended to influence water movement and retention on the landscape, which can improve soil moisture conditions, support desirable vegetation, and enhance habitat resilience. Taken together, the vegetation and hydrology components are framed as complementary tools to rebuild or maintain the habitat structure and landscape connectivity that Gunnison sage-grouse need.
Administratively, this funding notice is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to Colorado Parks and Wildlife under Department of the Interior policy provisions for unique qualifications.
