Sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the United States currently occur on only about one-half of their historical land area because of changes in land use, urban growth, and degradation of land, including invasions of non-native plants. The existence of many animal species depends on the existence of sagebrush steppe habitat. The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a landscape-dependent bird that requires intact habitat and combinations of sagebrush and perennial grasses to exist. In addition, other sagebrush-obligate animals also have similar requirements and restoration of landscapes for greater sage-grouse also will benefit these animals. Once sagebrush lands are degraded, they may require restoration...

Advancing land and resource conservation in the Rocky Mountains requires bringing together the wealth of existing organizations, partnerships, universities, and individuals. By joining together, conservation practitioners can identify and advance common priorities, develop strategies and gain efficiencies in addressing landscape stressors such as climate change,invasive species and land development, and understand the eco-‐geographic context of local management activities and decisions on regional outcomes. Partnerships are needed to identify andprioritize research and science needs and conservation actions, bridge the gap between science and land management actions, and improve capacity by coordinating conservation...
The Okanagan-Kettle subregion straddles the Canada–USA border between the Cascade Range on the west and the Monashee Mountains and Kettle Range to the east. It has been identified as a key area for maintenance and restoration of north–south and east–west wildlife habitat connectivity. At the northern extent of the shrub-steppe communities of the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion and Great Basin, it is an important area for north–south movement of shrub-steppe habitats and species; and as the central area between two major mountain ranges, it is important for maintaining movement of large carnivores and their prey.The analysis and connectivity maps we present in this report build on previous work by the Washington Wildlife...
Washington Connected Landscapes Project: Statewide Analysis Summary Report
We will develop an approach to identify fire refugia in Rocky Mountain ecosystems of the U.S. and Canada then test the function of refugia for biodiversity conservation under current and future climate/fire scenarios. Our products will be designed to inform decision-making in land/easement acquisition, identification of critical areas for maintaining landscape and process connectivity/permeability, and extension of the temporal context for spatial conservation decision making. The approach will be testable for transferability to other locations and ecosystems.

Sage-Grouse Require Sagebrish Steppe Infographic
To enhance communications and information exchange on landscape-level conservation efforts, the Great Northern LCC has developed an online resource directory containing descriptions of landscape initiatives and organizations that conduct conservation work within the Great Northern geographic area. The resource directory is a work in progress. The initial list for the Organizations Directory is comprised of organizations on the GNLCC Steering Committee. The Landscape Initiatives Directory displays projects and partnerships that contribute to landscape conservation or have stated landscape goals in the Great Northern area. A map of the initiatives is included.We welcome your suggestions and ideas. Iif you would like...

NorWeST stream temperature scenario maps were developed at a 1-kilometer resolution using spatial statistical stream network models. Stream temperature data used to fit the temperature model that created the scenario maps were screened using a consistent set of criteria to ensure the use of accurate temperature measurements.Application of these techniques in previous research has yielded accurate and unbiased stream temperature models and predictions (R2 ~ 0.90; RMSE < 1.0 ˚C; for more details, click here). Several versions of the temperature scenario maps can be downloaded as geospatial data that enable the display and querying of stream temperatures in ArcMap for all streams within a river basin.Model predicted...
LC MAP, the Landscape Conservation Management and Analysis Portal, allows GNLCC partners to discover, use, develop, manage, and distribute datasets that address LCC priority issues. In FY11, this effort will extend LCMAP to allow users to generate dynamic interactive map viewers, modeled output, and web services for use in ArcExplorer and other client tools. In addition, the project will build the LCMAP Phenology Service, adding ESRI image services to the application suite and allowing GIS analysts and modelers access to a full suite of phenology data for use in ArcMap and other client tools.The set of data development and presentation tools planned will allow GIS analysts in the GNLCC community to work with multiple...
The Wyoming Interagency Spatial Database & Online Management (WISDOM) System is a user-friendly tool allowing any interested individual to discover, consider, and assess Wyoming’s wildlife resources. WISDOM is intended to provide landscape-level information during the early stages of project planning. It does not replace or supersede site specific analysis with appropriate agencies. It should be used in concert with all available data and expertise to ensure project plans address wildlife and habitat conservation at all levels.

These photos were taken by the Washinton Natural Heritage Program in Summer, 2014 to support an Ecological Integrity Assessment project (https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/54ed0f13e4b02d776a68481b). Photos are taken of field sampling sites that were selected to assess ecological integrity. Methods can be found in the report. Each zipped folder contains several photo series that correspond to individual sites. Each site series starts with a photo of a field sheet with the site ID. This site ID can be linked to information in the field database (put link here when uploaded). Following that are 4 photos that correspond to the cardinal directions from that point, in order: North, East, South, West. This...

The Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC) addresses landscape scale stressors across a large area of the northwest US and the Canadian west. The GNLCC supports several Partner Forums that span unique geographic sub-regions of the GNLCC (https://www.fws.gov/science/catalog).The Columbia Basin Partner Forum (CBPF) is the most recent Partner Forum to be convened. The CBPF will follow the overall guidance and operating principals of the GNLCC set forth in the GNLCC’s Strategic Conservation Framework, Science Plan, and other documents.The Columbia River Basin Partner Forum recently held a workshop with an aim to reestablish and re-energize the Partner Forum. The workshop

As always, a variety of excellent work is being carried out across the Rocky Mountain landscape and we want to highlight some upcoming events, current projects, and relevant resources for Rocky Mountain Partner Forum members. Our partners are working on a slew of issues and building coalitions around watershed restoration, habitat connectivity, and species health to name but a few. Most of you are carrying out or are connected to much of this work, and we encourage you to reach out to folks involved in other projects that are of interest to you. We would love to feature your work through the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum newsletter and website so please get in touch!
