Grant Description: The BLM would like to provide an opportunity for an organization to learn about the importance of wildlife and livestock exclosures and how they are used in conjunction with vegetation and wildlife studies for the management of surrounding natural resources. BLM would like to work cooperative with an organization to provide an opportunity for adolescents to learn about public lands and help determine potential career choices. This project will 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. This project will ensure continuation of vegetation and wildlife information from the study areas. It will continue to provide information used to improve management of surrounding public lands. It will provide the opportunity for adolescents to learn about public lands and help determine potential career choices. It will provide opportunities to learn skills from this type of project, including plant and animal identification, importance of riparian vegetation, fence constructions, and being in the outdoors.
