BLM-UT Monticello FO Vegetation and Wildlife Study: This is a continuation of an existing agreement with Canyon Country Youth Corps to set up exclosures that protect riparian areas and wetland habitat for wildlife, particularly raptors, fish, amphibians, and neotropical birds. By protecting these areas from different uses, the BLM is obtaining much needed information about riparian and upland areas which are used by wildlife; including big game, amphibians, and fish. The exclosures already in existence will need maintenance and updated because they have years of data collection already associated with them and by continuing these projects; the recipient would be ensuring these important studies can continue. Upland exclosures provide information to appropriately manage large areas with similar use levels and vegetation types. This information is used by several natural resources specialists and agencies.
