NCBA and Public Lands Council to file
sage grouse comments

June 27 is the deadline for submitting comments to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), regarding the status of the greater sage grouse.

The greater sage grouse habitat covers parts or all of eleven western states: California, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Montana, South Dakota, and North Dakota. The implications of listing a species with such a vast habitat area are potentially disastrous.

The Public Lands Council (PLC) has been working to collect data and information from these Western states regarding habitat improvements and actions taken by ranchers that have helped the greater sage grouse.

The PLC and NCBA will be submitting comments to FWS prior to Friday's deadline.
