Topics to be discussed at the meeting include:
- Discuss potential allocation of funds ($28,000) from the WGFD for sage grouse conservation in the Upper Snake River Basin sage grouse working group area.
- Lek counts for surveys April-May 2019 and what it means in terms of population trends and viability.

The group is one of eight regional working groups statewide. Each is composed of citizens representing groups interested in sage grouse conservation. The group develops and initiates conservation plans to benefit sage grouse and, when feasible, other species that use sagebrush habitats.
