This webinar explored a study supported by the Renewable Energy Wildlife Research Fund (REWRF) highlighting recent work on grouse and wind energy. There are many unknowns about lesser prairie chicken’s (LEPC) interactions with wind facilities and there is a strong need for long-term data to help guide siting in vicinity of LEPC’s range. This webinar provided an opportunity to learn more about REWRF’s groundbreaking work in the renewable energy-wildlife space and what lessons can be learned from these efforts.
