The Bureau of land Management (BLM) manages more than 245 million acres of public lands – all supporting a diversity of fish, wildlife and plants, including threatened, endangered, and "at risk" species. In fact, the BLM manages more wildlife and plant habitats than any other federal or state agency in the country. When authorizing land use activities such as recreation, livestock grazing, energy development, and forest management, the BLM must ensure the needs of wildlife, fish, and plants are taken into consideration. The BLM manages these resources in cooperation with state and other federal agencies. The BLM also works to improve the health of entire watersheds to sustain and enhance a variety of biological resources.

The purpose of the conference is to continue sharing the latest information and to plan for the conservation, restoration, and maintenance of resilient sagebrush ecosystems. Recent unprecedented collaboration between management agencies, scientists, private landowners, industry, and others working to sustain healthy sagebrush ecosystems across all boundaries demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach. Western conservation efforts directed at sage-grouse, to a large degree, precluded the need for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to propose protection for the Greater sage-grouse under the Endangered Species Act. These efforts have been enormous and have changed the way conservation is practiced.
In support of this on-going effort, we are requesting your consideration in joining the conference as a sponsor or exhibitor. Details are provided below as to what a sponsorship or exhibitor commitment entails. More details can be found at. Conference participants will include land owners and managers, local working group members and participants, state and federal agency decision makers, government officials, energy industry planners and biologists, agricultural group representatives, researchers, and students.
