— June 13, 2013

(Press release) The Bureau of Land Management Pinedale Field Office, in coordination with the Pinedale Anticline Project Office, will host a public meeting on Thursday, June 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. at 1625 W. Pine St., Pinedale, Wyo., to present the draft Pinedale Anticline Project Area Greater Sage-Grouse Mitigation Plan.

The plan was developed in response to a drop in the number of active sage-grouse leks in the Duke’s Triangle Complex, a Pinedale Anticline Wildlife Monitoring and Mitigation Matrix trigger that requires a mitigation response. The draft plan is available online here, and here.

Public comment will be sought regarding the plan’s proposed mitigation and implementation at the meeting.
