Sage grouse officials hold Evanston meeting

EVANSTON — Uinta County community members gathered on Friday, July 21, to hear a presentation by the Sage-Grouse Implementation Team (SGIT), an organization comprised of state, federal and industrial representatives. Residents packed the commission chambers at the Uinta County Complex.

Before introducing the SGIT members in attendance, county commissioner Eric South explained the team’s purpose. “As you know, the Bureau of Land Management is in the process of revising the 2019 Greater Sage Grouse plans,” he said, “which were litigated and never went into effect in Wyoming.”
