Join us for a conversation on conservation efforts in the shrub-steppe with wildlife conservationist Michael Brown of Sage Grouse Initiative and Pheasants Forever. He’ll share strategies and technologies being used to help save the endangered Sage Grouse habitat in Washington State and beyond. We’ll learn how these programs and organizations are collaborating with ranchers, hunters, and farmers to expand conservation practices on private lands that benefit all. With increasing threats to our shrub-steppe biome coming together in conservation efforts is crucial! Steppe up and join the conversation- all are welcome to this event!
