Notable Projects
 Effects of Fire on Habitat Management
Decades of fire suppression are resulting in more catastropic wild fires. Using Wildlife Restoration funds, wildlife biologists are studying the impacts of fire on black bear, fox, mule deer and bobcats. The goal is to determine which fire reduction methods most benefit wildlife.
Restoring Grassland Bird Habitat
Loss of habitat due to development, overgrazing and encroachment of trees and shrubs has caused many native bird species to decline. What researchers learn about changes in habitat may be key to their survival.
