The South Dakota Sage Grouse Local Working Group formed in 2013 to ensure conservation efforts in core habitat areas are targeted and coordinated. The group gives diverse stakeholders a voice in identifying and implementing priority conservation projects. This group includes a wide variety of participants, including local agricultural producers, conservation districts, federal and state government agencies, nonprofit organizations, watershed groups, and members of the public.
The South Dakota Sage Grouse Local Working Group enhances SGI programs by leveraging technical expertise, past experience, and site-specific knowledge to identify, use, and track conservation tools. By coordinating all efforts related to greater sage-grouse, the group makes sure conservation projects go in the right place and in the right way to benefit birds, agricultural producers, and the sagesteppe as a whole.
