The Forest Service proposes to: (1) Develop a project-level and site-specific implementation strategy to manage black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) using the full suite of management tools to maintain viable populations to support blackfooted ferret reintroduction and populations of other associated species while reducing unwanted colonization of adjoining lands along national grassland boundaries and (2) to amend the Thunder Basin National Grassland Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) as needed to support the site-specific implementation plan and to modify the boundary of the black-footed ferret reintroduction area. The ferret area modification is proposed to provide a more logical boundary, based on topographical and biological barriers for prairie dog colonies, and to include lands recently acquired through land exchange.
