publisher mapDigital The 2008 Sage-grouse Habitat Planning Map update incorporates wildfire data and other edits relevant to the 2008 field and fire season as per typical processes used during the past decade. Additional areas of non-habitat, such as paved highways, municipal boundaries, water bodies etc., were also removed. However, the map extent for sage-grouse key habitat and potential restoration areas should be considered provisional, contingent on the final outcome of additional analyses currently underway in association with the national Greater Sage-grouse Conservation Strategy. This data set contains simple, landscape-scale greater sage-grouse habitat types for Idaho and constitutes a current approximation of sage-grouse habitat in the state. The data can be used for general conservation and restoration planning purposes, but additional data or field verification are needed for applications at finer scales. The habitat types include: (1) key sage-grouse habitat areas and (2) four habitat restoration types: (a) R1 - perennial native and non-native grasslands with high restoration potential; (b) R2 - annual grass dominated areas (either shrubland or grassland) with low restoration potential; (c) R3 - conifer encroachment areas with high restoration potential and (d) RB - areas that have recently burned and the type of habitat that is coming back and its restoration potential has not yet been determined. Beginning in 2015, the NA class was included to track areas that were previously identified as habitat but were removed due to vegetation type or terrain (eg. stands of existing timber on North-facing slopes). A new data set will be developed annually to update the planning map and chart landscape-level changes in sage-grouse habitat over time. Edits may also document refinements discovered through inventory, monitoring and modeling. This data covers all of Idaho and a small area in Nevada that is managed by BLM Idaho. Intended scale of use is 1:100,000. This dataset is not synonymous with BLM's Sage-grouse Habitat Management Areas (Priority, Important and General) as those incorporate additional habitat and sage-grouse population data or models. Concerns about trends in sage-grouse habitat persist, due to the ongoing loss of sagebrush from wildfires, expansion of invasive annual grasses, and conifer encroachment. Sagebrush steppe vegetation mapping efforts have occurred in many areas but techniques, scales, timeframes, and resolution vary. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho and conservation partners have an ongoing need for a spatial portrayal of existing and potentially restorable sage-grouse habitat for a variety of planning purposes. At a broad scale, the BLM Idaho Greater Sage-Grouse Planning Maps and data are intended to: 1. Identify key sage-grouse habitat areas for BLM Idaho that need to be conserved. 2. Identify areas of restoration potential that should be considered during restoration planning. 3. Be a tool for land use and fire planning at the Field Office, District, and State Office levels. 4. Graphically portray the degree of sage-grouse habitat fragmentation or recovery as it changes over time. 5. Assist field staff in identifying areas where sage-grouse habitat conservation or restoration will be a primary concern and those areas where sage-grouse will not be a management emphasis. 6. Serve as an educational tool for conservation planning and public outreach.

Polygon locations may be even less accurate on non-BLM lands if land owners do not participate in the mapping effort. No formal horizontal positional accuracy testing has been done on this dataset. Field offices were given the chance to review the data for errors after editing by the State Office, and identified errors were corrected. The metadata was reviewed and additional changes were made to the metadata to provide consistency and clarification, and to edit outdated information. 2024-05-20T00:00:00 U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Idaho State Office State Data Administrator 208-373-4000
