"The lands in southwest Idaho managed by the BLM's Bruneau and Owyhee field offices include some of the most productive greater sage-grouse habitat in Idaho. While there are several causes of habitat loss and fragmentation across the range of sage-grouse, the main threats in southwest Idaho include wildfire, invasive annual grasses, and conversion of sagebrush steppe to western juniper woodlands. In southwest Idaho, loss of suitable sage-grouse habitat from conversion of sagebrush steppe to juniper woodlands is a major threat to the species...The purpose of the BOSH project is to improve and maintain suitable sage-grouse habitat at a landscape scale on BLM-managed lands...by removing the encroaching juniper from such habitat. The goal is to treat encroaching juniper in areas that would provide the greatest benefit to existing habitat and improve the long-term viability and persistence of sage-grouse in the area"--Page 3
