Restoring habitat for sage grouse helps many other sagebrush-dependent species, including two at-risk songbirds, according to a new report released today by the Sage Grouse Initiative (SGI). SGI, a partnership led by NRCS, found that populations of Brewer's sparrow and green-tailed towhee climbed significantly in places where invading conifer trees were removed in an effort to restore sagebrush habitat.
