Tuscarora sagebrush habitat restoration initiative

Description:

"The BLM, Tuscarora Field Office is proposing to restore sagebrush habitat north of Battle Mountain, Nevada. The project includes a variety of treatments to restore areas that have endured catastrophic wildfires between 1984 and 2006. Restoration of this area is proposed to improve overall watershed health and habitat to benefit declining sensitive wildlife populations and crucial big game habitat, and to reduce the potential for future catastrophic wildfires"--Page 1.
