SHERIDAN (WNE) — Gov. Mark Gordon is seeking public comment on proposed revisions to the Sage Grouse Executive Order.
These changes stem from updates to the Governor’s Executive Order 2019-3 Greater Sage Grouse Core Area Protection.
“Wyoming has consistently advocated for a Greater sage-grouse strategy that recognizes the State’s management authority over the species utilizing the best-available science,” Gordon said. “Wyoming remains a leader in the sage-grouse conservation, and the State of Wyoming’s Executive Order Greater Sage-Grouse Core Area Protection has proven to be a successful strategy that has spanned three Governors in its foresight to have a state-lead conservation strategy. We appreciate the public’s input as we continue to invest in sage-grouse conservation alongside responsible development in Wyoming.”
Written comments will be accepted through 5 p.m. July 30. Learn more online at https://wgfd.wyo.gov/wyoming-wildlife/sage-grouse-management/sage-grous….
