Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA WY08 9004
The grant opportunity focuses on a research study aimed at understanding how natural gas development impacts elk habitat selection in the Fortification Creek Area of northeastern Wyoming. This region, covering 123,000 acres, is home to a small population of Rocky Mountain elk and is rich in coal and coalbed methane resources. Concerns arise from planned natural gas extraction that could disrupt the limited elk habitat.
The Bureau of Land Management seeks to identify disturbance mechanisms, such as noise and traffic, that might lead elk to avoid areas affected by energy development. The study will explore several aspects, including the effects of phased development, a comparison of current habitat selection with historical telemetry data, and an analysis of elk behavior in comparison to another study near Big Piney, Wyoming.
The primary objective is to protect elk habitat while facilitating responsible energy development. The research aims to clarify how oil and gas activities disturb elk and other wildlife, reducing habitat effectiveness. By identifying key disturbance mechanisms and their impact over time and space, the study will provide valuable insights for managing future energy projects in a way that minimizes disruptions to wildlife and restores habitat functionality where needed.Apply for RFA WY08 9004
