Planning & Policy
There are many plans and policies developed by SageCon partners that guide our work. Below is a timeline of major plans, policies and milestones between 2010 and 2020. See page 8 of the SageCon Dashboard for links to each document. In 2021, a multiagency stakeholder working group conducted an evaluation of the Oregon Sage-Grouse Action Plan and developed an Evaluation and Recommendations report. Other planning and policy resources are listed below.
The SageCon Dashboard provides an overview of the status and trends of sagebrush rangeland condition, sage-grouse populations, and collaborative conservation efforts in southeastern Oregon.
The 2015 Oregon Sage-Grouse Action Plan lays out an ambitious vision for "all hands all lands" conservation of sage-grouse in Oregon. The Plan was coordinated by the SageCon Partnership and developed by a wide range of partners interested in sagebrush, sage-grouse and rural economic development in southeastern Oregon.
This page compiles a list of the most relevant state, federal and local plans, policies and programs for sage-grouse conservation in Oregon.
Oregon’s Sage-Grouse Action Plan enacted new rules to limit development in important sage-grouse habitat resting upon limiting development in core sage-grouse habitat and use of a mitigation hierarchy.
