The Montana Sage Grouse Habitat Conservation Program sets forth Montana’s Conservation Strategy for the conservation, regulatory protection, and management of sage grouse. The Conservation Strategy is based on the collaborative work of the Montana Greater Sage Grouse Habitat Conservation Advisory Council, Executive Order 10-2014, the Montana Sage Grouse Stewardship Act passed during the 2015 Legislative Session, and Executive Order 12-2015.
The Sage Grouse Habitat Conservation Program (Program) was created to facilitate implementation of the Executive Orders across state government, by federal land management agencies, and private entities seeking to develop projects in key sage grouse habitats. The Program is overseen by the Montana Sage Grouse Oversight Team. The Program is administratively hosted by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation.
Montana’s goal is to conserve greater sage grouse and key sagebrush habitats so that Montana will maintain authority to manage its own lands, wildlife, and economy. Implementing Montana’s Conservation Strategy will ensure that listing under the federal Endangered Species Act will never be warranted.
