5th Day of Fishmas

From USFWS Pacific Region:

On the 5th day of #Fishmas partnership gave to us nearly FIVE million sagebrush seedlings for sagebrush habitat restoration! The U.S. Forest Service's Lucky Peak Nursery, based near Boise, Idaho, is making a difference to agencies’ efforts to restore sagebrush habitat. Since fall 2015, the nursery has grown 4.7 million sagebrush seedlings that are being replanted at the U.S. Army Yakima Training Center in Washington and USFS andBureau of Land Management managed public lands in Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon. Lucky Peak Nursery will be growing the seeds for the South Fork Boise River Post-Fire Restoration Project. Planting of sagebrush and bitterbrush will occur in FY17, benefitting sage-grouse habitat as well as big game winter range in the sagebrush steppe. Partners on this project are Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Idaho Fish and Game (IDFG). #SagebrushSaturday#350Species
