Sagebrush habitat management project – In January, EnCana funded a project through the Wildlife Heritage Foundation of Wyoming for an integrated approach to wildlife and livestock habitat management within the Frenchie Draw Field in Fremont County, Wyoming. The project scope covers design and implementation of habitat enhancements and strategies. It is unique for its detailed survey and evaluation of wildlife and their habitats in conjunction with agricultural operations, with special emphasis on wildlife in the sagebrush community. Funded by our US$164,000 donation, the project is an extension of an agriculture and wildlife management project initiated in 2005 with private agricultural landowners in western Wyoming. |
