| Description: | B. Project Background Information: Between October 1997 and October 2002 approximately 7,500 acres of vegetation treatments were conducted as livestock and pronghorn mitigation for the Moxa Arch gas development field, in the Kemmerer Resource Area (KFO). There were two different treatment types utilized: mowing, and spike (sagebrush herbicide); as well as one project that experimented using two different mower heights. The projects have been surveyed to determine the summer grass response to the different treatments, however not to determine the spring forb response. Spring forbs are a crucial forage for sage-grouse during nesting and brood rearing, and current management concerns are focused on sage-grouse mitigation. There is a relatively small window of time in the spring in which the forbs can be monitored, thus a survey requires a concentrated effort by a large and experienced team of professionals. This project proposes to work with an experienced wildlife consulting firm in order to complete the field survey, analyze the data, and write a final report of the results including future vegetation management recommendations for sage-grouse.
