Restoration project sites are located in Wyoming sagebrush, pinyon?juniper woodlands and mountain sagebrush communities within the Walker watershed of western Nevada. Restoration projects are focused on wildlife habitat including Sage Grouse (endangered species candidate), Mule deer, and a variety of non?game species.
