Workshops have beenconducted in 10 Utah counties training over 120 people. To facilitate the workshops, coordinated with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to develop the workshop manual andeducational materials. In addition to the workshop material, we produced a citizen’s guide to wetland and stream permitting in Utah, a Wetlands of Utah educational circular, and an educational traveling kiosk. Over 40,000 copies of the Wetlands of Utah circular and 5,000

8

copies of the citizen’s guide have been distributed. To encourage wetland education in Utah classrooms, we developed a traveling educational program entitled "Wetlands on Wheels." Thistrunk contains a 3 week teaching module to include lessons plans, supplemental materials, and equipment that enables teachers to integrate field trips into the classroom experience. The trunkis available in 3 versions for grades K-4, 5-8, and 9-12. After a one year field test, 15 additional trunks (3 for each grade group) were developed for distribution to Utah teachers on a request basis. Distribution of the trunks is coordinated through The Quinney Library in the College ofNatural Resources at Utah State University.

Under this program, we facilitated the development of a Utah Wetlands Management Strategy. This process resulted in the adoption of a document that identifies the policies and actions of each state agency regarding wetland conservation. It is intended to be used to inform state and federal agencies and public stakeholders about Utah wetland conservation activities. This document reduced policy conflicts between state agencies regarding their respective missions and wetland conservation.

4-H Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Programming - Organized and chaired a state committeeconsisting of representatives of Utah’s public and private wildlife conservation, management,and education organizations. This committee conducts the program. Over 1,000 youth andvolunteer coaches from 19 Utah counties have participated in this program.

Berryman Institute, Utah Department of Agriculture, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and the USDA-APHIS/Wildlife Services Utah State Office that describe common problems caused by wildlife species and identify appropriate management strategies. In addition to the publications, produced a video addressing damage caused by urban raccoons. Two versions of the video (Utah and National) were produced and distributed. Conduct training programs for master gardeners, homeowners, land managers, and landownersregarding managing vertebrate pest problems. To develop these programs, surveyed Utahlandowners regarding their perceptions about wildlife damage. Serve on several state andnational committees that meet to address landowner wildlife damage concerns and developprograms to alleviate or mitigate wildlife damage.

Wildlife Policy Programming - Organized public forums sponsored by Utah State University Extension Service, College of Natural Resources, Utah Wildlife Federation, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Utah Farm Bureau, and the Utah Chapter of

the Wildlife Society to provide information and receive public feedback regarding a number of wildlife conservation issues to include endangered species, wolf reintroduction, cougar management, predation management, wilderness, wildlife damage management, big game management, and wildlife policy formation as a means of increasing citizen's involvement inwildlife issues. These forums include public meetings and satellite broadcasts.

Wildlife Conservation Partnerships and Programs - Organized the Utah Private LandsInitiative Committee.

Juan County Gunnison Sage-grouse Conservation Plan and the Parker Mountain Adaptive Resource Management Plan. Both programs engage public and private stakeholders in research and conservation activities to benefit sage-grouse and other wildlife populations that inhabit over 1 million acres of sagebrush rangelands in Utah. Both processes recognize the need to balance existing socio-economic needs of the local communities with species conservation. Private landowners and public partners are contributing funds to support baseline research efforts that will identify the large scale management experiments that will be conducted to achieveconservation goals. The Parker Mountain project was identified as an En Libra project by

11

the Western Governor’s Association.

Sage-grouse and Tall Structures – The Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) authorized the preparation of the Greater Sage-grouse Comprehensive Conservation Strategy (Strategy) (Stiver et al. 2006). The Strategy embraced a multi-state, multi-agency, and multi-industry planning effort to develop a consolidated regional and national approach to the conservation of greater sage-grouse (C. urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse). The Strategy identified a need to document the potential impacts of tall structures on sage-grouse. Tall structures were defined as electric distribution and transmission lines, wind turbines, and associated infrastructures. Utah Wildlife in Need (UWIN), a nonprofit foundation, in cooperation with Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) facilitated a public process to synthesize contemporary knowledge regarding the effects of tall structures on sage-grouse. For the purpose of this process tall structures were defined specifically as electric distribution and transmission lines and associated facilities. The project assessed the adequacy of existing information to predict and mitigate the potential impacts of tall structures on sage-grouse, identified information gaps and needs, and prioritized research needed to provide new knowledge for the development of best management practices. In September, 2010 with UWIN’s publication of the report entitled “Contemporary Knowledge and Research Needs Regarding the Effects of Tall Structures on Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus and C. minimus)” (UWIN 2010). (The report and supporting documents can be viewed at www.utahcbcp.org under the Tall Structure Information tab.). The UWIN reportidentified eight tall structure related issues (UWIN 2010). The UWIN (2010) report was subsequently endorsed by The Greater Sage-grouse Executive Oversight Committee (EOC). UWIN and its partners are developing the research protocol for conducting new studies to assess direct impacts of tall structures on greater sage-grouse.

Mule Deer Conservation News and Information Network - Facilitated the development and administer the mule deer news and information network. This network serves as a management and research information clearinghouse working to enhance North American mule deer conservation efforts and provide the foundation for the development of a Western North American Mule Deer Management Plan. Organized 2 national mule deer conservationdemonstration projects. One is located on the Utah/Arizona border and includes the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument and the Kaibab National Forest. The second is located neat Raton, New Mexico and is entitled, “Restoring mule deer to the Santa Fe Trail.” Partners included the NRA Whittington Center, Vermejo Park Ranch, Mule Deer Foundation, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, New Mexico Game and Fish Department, TO Ranch, Chase Ranch, CS. Ranch, UU Bar Ranch, Philmont Ranch, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and Nike Corporation.

Wildlife Management News and Information Network - Developed a wildlife management news and information network to serve as a North American clearinghouse on proactive strategies to enhance professional wildlife management. The clearinghouse includes a website library database and communication network. This work was supported by a federal-aid administrative grant.

12

Endangered Species Conservation - Coordinated the development of a Utah endangered and threatened species bulletin. Work with the Utah Legislature, public and private agencies and organizations to identify and implement conservation strategies to enhance management of sensitive species on private land.

Community-based Conservation - In Utah sage-grouse inhabit sagebrush habitats of the Colorado plateau and the Great Basin geographic regions from 4,000 to 9,000 feet in elevation. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) believes that all of Utah's 29 counties at one time provided sagebrush habitat suitable for sage-grouse. The UDWR estimates that today sage-grouse in Utah occupy only 50 percent of their previous habitat and are one-half as abundant as they were prior to the 1850s. Continued population declines have prompted several environmental organizations to consider petitioning the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to list sage-grouse as threatened or endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act. Concerned stakeholders in the affected states organized local working groups or coalitions to increase local ownership and involvement in the development of community-based conservation plans and agreements. Implementation of these conservation plans and agreements will assist state and local governments and private landowners in conserving these species and their habitats while also achieving local, social, and economic objectives. Utah State University Extension and the College of Natural Resources through funding provided through the Jack H. Berryman Institute entered into a cooperative agreement with the UDWR to develop a Community-based Conservation Program (CBCP). This program replicated the efforts previously discussed under sage-grouse conservation.

The specialists hired to implement the program are responsible for developing, implementing, and monitoring community-based conservation plans and agreements for 13 geographic areas. Implementation of these plans are intended to benefit sage-grouse (Greater and Gunnison), other sensitive wildlife species, private landowners, and local Utah communities. The CBCP specialists work full-time on sage-grouse conservation planning issues. The cooperators believe the CBCP staff will be perceived as a neutral party, not representing any specific government agency or mandate. The cooperators also believe this approach will assist in recovery and provide affected individuals and local communities with increased ownership of the conservation planning process. In addition we are seeking to increase stakeholder awareness of the incentives available to assist them in conserving these species while meeting their local, social, and economic objectives (www.utahcbcp.org). Integral to this effort is the evaluation of the effects of conservation practices on sagebrush steppe ecosystem restoration, sage-grouse and other sagebrush obligates. To facilitate these evaluations, we worked with federal, state, and private partners to develop the Sage-grouse Restoration Project (SGRP). This project will provide the resources needed to conduct the evaluations and provide a mechanism to share the information with others (www.sgrp.usu.edu).

Utah Cooperative Wildlife Management Association - The Association consists of over 500 farm and ranch operations encompassing over 2.0 million acres of private rangeland in Utah. We provide members with information, education, technical support, and policy guidance to enhance

13

wildlife management, recreational opportunities, and alternate income potentials on private land. The Association has saved Utah landowners over $10 million. Annually, the Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit program generates over $40 million in new revenue for Utah landowners and provides free access to over 5,000 Utah hunters annually to high quality big game hunting opportunities.

The premise of the program was to combine a system of financial incentives for landowners to manage for wildlife with increased hunter access to high quality hunting opportunities. To date the program engages over 500 landowners who own or operate over 2.2 million acres of private land. The program generates over $40 million in new revenues and provides over 5,000 hunters with unique, high quality hunting experiences. The Association provides members with important management and customer service information as well as provides hunters and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources that regulates the program quality assurance.
