About the event

The area known locally as the Big Sandy Foothills just north of Farson, Wyoming is recognized for its unparalleled biodiversity richness and important wildlife habitat. This area supports the healthiest remaining greater sage-grouse populations in the world, with 800 male sage-grouse documented across several ‘super’ leks in the breeding season. It also encompasses a portion of the Red Desert to Hoback Mule Deer migration corridor and provides crucial winter range for elk and pronghorn. Unfortunately, both ungulates and sage-grouse often become entangled in the top wire of barbed wire fences. Within the Big Sandy Foothills there is one fenceline in particular that causes high numbers of sage-grouse mortality every year.
