Big Horn Basin Sage-Grouse Working Group Seeks New Member
The Big Horn Basin Sage-Grouse Local Working group is seeking a new member to fill a vacant “public-at-large” position. Any resident of Big Horn, Hot Springs, Park, or Washakie counties may apply.The role of the group is to develop and implement projects consistent with local sage-grouse conservation plans that benefit the species and reduce the likelihood of sage-grouse being listed under the federal Endangered Species Act.
