This webinar was hosted by the National Wind Coordinating Collaborative (NWCC).
Background on Sage-Grouse Research Collaborative
Results from the following two research projects overseen by the NWCC Sage-Grouse Research Collaborative. The NWCC Sage-Grouse Research Collaborative was founded in 2010 to coordinate studies examining the potential impacts of wind energy development on sage-grouse across their range with the goal of informing wind development and sage-grouse management strategies.
