DISTRICT OPPORTUNITIES: The Sheyenne National Grassland is managed as a ranger district located about 70 miles southwest of Fargo and contains the largest remaining remnant of tall grass prairie. It is comprised of 70,000 acres of rolling sand hills just east of Lisbon, North Dakota. The major activities are range, recreation, noxious weed treatment and prescribed fire. The Grassland’s location on the boundary between the eastern hardwood forest and the Great Plains, as well as its remnant tallgrass prairie provides habitat to several special plants and animals. The Grassland is home to listed threatened and endangered plants and butterflies, many rare plant species, and numerous types of birds. The North Country National Scenic Trail, the longest trail in the USA, traverses the District. Additionally the Denbigh and Souris Experimental Forest, located in north-central North Dakota, is administered by the Sheyenne National Grassland.. This area is a research site for developing genetically improved trees for tree planting in the Northern Great Plains. The Sheyenne National Grassland permits approximately 60,000 head months of livestock grazing annually through a grazing agreement to one grazing association. There are approximately 56 grazing allotments on the district managed in cooperation with the Sheyenne Valley Grazing Association, comprised of approximately 70 members. In addition to administering a large grazing program, the district will be aggressively moving forward with vegetation management projects at the landscape level to meet the desired condition of the Land and Resource Management Plan and Rescission Bill schedule. The district is very involved in restoring ecosystem health and providing habitat for the federally listed western prairie fringed orchid, Dakota skipper with its associated designated critical habitat and many rare plant and animal species. The recreation program consists of two campgrounds and 42 miles of trails of which 30 miles are part of the North Country National Scenic Trail. The District has an active prescribed fire program and one of the largest noxious weed programs which treats approximately 15,000 acres in an integrated pest management approach. THE DAKOTA PRAIRIE NATIONAL GRASSLANDS: Created in 1998 as a separate unit(formerly part of the Custer National Forest) in response to increased visibility and issues surrounding National Grasslands. The Supervisor's Office is located in Bismarck, ND. In addition to the Sheyenne National Grassland administered by the Sheyenne Ranger District, the DPG includes three other Ranger Districts; the Grand River and Cedar River National Grasslands comprising the Grand River Ranger District in Lemmon, South Dakota, and the Medora (Dickinson, ND) and McKenzie (Watford City, ND) Ranger Districts which comprise the Little Missouri National Grassland unit in western North Dakota. The Dakota Prairie National Grasslands, is located in eastern and western North Dakota and northwestern South Dakota. The DPG oversees approximately 1.2 million acres of federal lands, intermingled with other federal, state, and private lands with an approximately 2.9 million acre administative boundary. The DPG supports the largest range program and one of the largest oil and gas programs in the USDA Forest Service. Each district and grassland has unique qualities and features. The McKenzie and Medora Ranger Districts, located in western North Dakota, comprise the Little Missouri National Grassland (LMNG), the largest and most diverse Grassland in the nation. The LMNG administers over 1,000,000 acres of rugged badlands, high buttes, woody draws and upland plateaus of rolling prairies. As the largest block of public land in the state, these two districts are considered to be one of North Dakota’s most important wildlife lands. They support populations of elk, bighorn sheep, whitetail and mule deer, wild turkeys, waterfowl, prairie dogs, antelope, upland game birds, raptors, and numerous songbirds. The Little Missouri River bisects the McKenzie and Medora Ranger Districts and has been designated a scenic river by the state of North Dakota. The Grand River Ranger District, located in south central North Dakota and northwestern South Dakota, includes the Grand River and Cedar River National Grasslands. This 150,000 acre unit is a combination of rolling prairie and badlands. The main emphasis is range with recreation developing around the Shadehill Dam complex. Cultural and historical values are spread over the unit. Excellent hunting and fishing opportunities abound throughout the Grasslands and on other public and private lands throughout both North and South Dakota.

  • Final Report: Lesser Prairie-Chicken Survey − Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands, 2014
    Final Report: Lesser Prairie-Chicken Survey − Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands, 2014 Project Manager: Angela Dwyer, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, 230 Cherry St., Fort Collins, CO 80521 ([email protected]) Project Director: David Hanni, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, 230 Cherry St., Fort Collins, CO 80521 ([email protected]) Introduction The Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) (LEPC) occupies grassland habitat consisting of sand sagebrush (Artemisia filifolia), sand shinnery oak (Quercus havardii) and mixed grass vegetation communities of the southern Great Plains. Since the 19th century, LEPC and the habitat upon which they depend has diminished across their historical range (Crawford and Bolen 1976, Taylor and Guthery 1980a), with recent estimates of current occupied range totaling approximately 17% of the estimated area of their historical range. Causes for this reduction in occupied range are primarily attributed to habitat loss and fragmentation (USFWS 2012). Habitat loss has been caused by conversion of native prairie to cropland (Bent 1932, Copelin 1963, Taylor and Guthery 1980) and long term fire suppression (Woodward et al. 2001) leading to tree invasion (Fuhlendorf et al. 2002). Grazing management practices would help improve habitat if managed to benefit LEPC. Heavily grazed fields that leave no residual vegetation for broods can be detrimental to LEPC (Sell 1979, Hunt and Best 2010). Habitat fragmentation has resulted from a combination of habitat loss and degradation caused by oil and gas development (Hunt 2004) and suspected effects of wind energy development (Pruett et al. 2009). The LEPC is not thought to occur in Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands (KRB) (Giesen 2003), however some parcels within the grasslands are managed for LEPC.

  • Oglala Grasslands Oglala Grasslands
    Oglala Grasslands landscape occupies the plains and rolling hills in the northwestern Panhandle north of the Pine Ridge. Mixed-grass prairie covers most of the plains and hills. Rock outcrops and badlands are dispersed among the prairie, as are small stream valleys. The soils are predominantly clays derived from Pierre Shale and, the prairie is dominated by blue grama, green needle grass, and western wheatgrass. This landscape is one of the larger, intact grasslands remaining in Nebraska and contains extensive badlands. Several plant communities including the western floodplain terrace grassland, silver sagebrush shrub prairie, greasewood shrub prairie, and northwestern mixed-grass prairie occur nowhere else in the state. Scattered playas occur in the landscape. These grasslands support extensive prairie dog towns, swift fox populations, and extensive habitat for grassland birds. Prairie dog towns within the BUL may be suitable for colonization of black-footed ferrets migrating from established colonies in southwestern South Dakota. The Oglala National Grassland occupies a large portion of this landscape. Stresses Affecting Species and Habitats Specific livestock grazing and haying practices that may reduce native plant diversity and promote uniform habitat structure Invasive plant species, primarily cheatgrass Potential disease in prairie dog populations Conservation Strategies Work with private landowners and the U.S. Forest Service to implement ecologically-sensitive grazing strategies that reduce cheatgrass and promote native
