Wyoming’s effort to keep sage-grouse off of the endangered species list was recognized by U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. Wyoming was one of 17 recipients of a Partners in Conservation Award. Governor Matt Mead said in a released statement that he hopes the award is an acknowledgement that Wyoming, the energy industry, agriculture producers and private landowners are significantly affected by this plan, and deserve thanks for making sacrifices in their support of it.”
In June Governor Mead signed the Sage-Grouse Core Area Protection Executive Order. It updated an Order signed by Governor Freudenthal providing more flexibility for management in the core areas.
