The Bruneau-Owyhee Sage Grouse Habitat (BOSH) Project has been under way for six years now, and approximately 140,000 acres of land have been treated to reduce juniper encroachment and open up the sage-steppe habitat for sage grouse, song birds, spotted frogs and more.
This is the largest sage grouse habitat restoration project in the Western United States in Owyhee County, Idaho. A strong partnership of state and federal agencies, wildlife advocacy groups and private landowners are supporting the project in an "All Hands, All Lands" approach that transcends property boundaries.
Scientific research has confirmed that when juniper trees spread across the landscape, all other plant species and the wildlife that depend on them suffer. Our story details the impacts. But when the landscape is opened up, native plants and wildlife thrive.
Thanks for watching!
