Abstract:

The purpose of the Challis Sage-grouse Local Work Group and this plan is to plan and oversee implementation of conservation measures that will result in a stable, healthy sage-grouse population within sustainable habitats. Management of sage-grouse populations and habitat (including historical) should occur in a socially, economically, and ecologically focused manner. The vision of the Challis LWG in the Challis SGPA is to do the following: • Maintain, and where possible, increase the sage-grouse population using adaptive management practices; • Develop more local in-depth knowledge about sage-grouse and sagebrush ecosystems; • Maintain, restore, and enhance diverse, healthy, sagebrush communities using adaptive management practices; • Identify important data gaps and utilize existing protocols for collecting relevant information regarding sage-grouse and sagebrush habitat for management purposes; • Increase public involvement in the planning, management, and implementation process; and • Increase cooperation between land and wildlife management agencies and private property owners. This plan describes planning area habitat guidelines, the status of the sage-grouse population and habitat, risks to sage-grouse populations and habitats, and recommended conservation measures to address those risks. An implementation plan is included as Appendix C.
