[ECONET] Action Alert: Protect Habitat for Greater Sage-Grouse Before It’s Too Late (Last Day: June 13)

Thursday June 13th is the deadline for public comment on the plan for sage-grouse habitat on BLM-managed lands across 10 western states, including Utah. This is a huge opportunity to ensure good management actions on 67 million acres! Good sage-grouse habitat management also translates to benefits for other sagebrush birds like the Brewer’s Sparrow, Sage Thrasher and Sage Sparrow — all species that are struggling to survive and thrive.

Tell the BLM to implement science-based management plans to ensure a future for Greater Sage-Grouse before it’s too late. The deadline to comment is June 13.

Please consider signing this action alert from National Audubon:
