Where would we be without the Sageland Community? This year, our community has come together this year to build over 500 beaver dam analogs, log over 12,000 pollinator observations, and more! Your contributions create tangible outcomes for the species and spaces we love.

Happy Latino Conservation Week & Hispanic Heritage Month! We are grateful to celebrate the culture and contributions of the Latinx and Hispanic communities with our incredible volunteers, donors, and partners.

If the heat of the summer has you dreaming of cool mountain streams and alpine lakes, we encourage you to join us at one of our upcoming Riverscape Restoration volunteer days!

As we celebrate Pride Month, our team wants to emphasize our belief that folks of all identities have unique and critical knowledge to contribute to conservation.

We loved seeing so many of our incredible volunteers and community members at our Community Science Training! Thank you for joining us as we presented ways to get involved in our Boreal Toad Project and Utah Pollinator Pursuit projects.

Spring is here, and you know what that means—our warm-weather conservation projects are right around the corner! You're invited to join us for our Utah Pollinator Pursuit and Boreal Toad Project volunteer trainings, coming up in just a month.

We are thrilled to welcome Austin Green to the Sageland Collaborative team as our newest Ecologist & Conservation Biologist! In this role, Austin will continue to lead the Wildlife Watch project while also developing a new program focusing on habitat connectivity.

Reflecting on this year, our team is filled with gratitude. From wetlands to neighborhoods to mountain peaks, our community covered huge swaths of ground to support wildlife conservation in the West.

After completing three years of region-wide rosy-finch feeder counts, this portion of our study is coming to an end. We've answered the important questions that we set out to, and we are proud of what our community of rosy-finchers has accomplished. 

We've loved celebrating Latinx/Hispanic American Heritage Month with our community, joining the Latinxs in the Field event, and sharing Latinx stories. To close this month with meaning, we're excited to share our latest video highlighting Emmanuel Santa-Martínez.

Happy Latinx/Hispanic American Heritage Month! We're grateful to celebrate with our amazing community of volunteers, donors, and friends.

We’re excited to announce our new Interim Executive Director: Janice Gardner! Gardner has been a Conservation Ecologist at Sageland Collaborative for over five years, leading with both a deep passion for wildlife and a marked ability to achieve large-scale conservation impacts.

Check out our 2022 Impact Report to reflect on everything you made possible on your favorite projects last year. Please reach out with any thoughts or questions. Thank you for all you do for our beloved land and wildlife in the West.

May was American Wetlands Month, and we hope you celebrated by visiting one of these life-filled habitats scattered across the West. (If not, June is a great time for a wetland visit!)

For those of us in the West, this winter felt like it may never end. Our dedicated Rosy-Finch Project volunteers, however, had an unlikely source of warmth: a finch that splashes pink across white winter skies.

Over the summer, scientist Janice Gardner shadowed Tempe Regan into Idaho's alpine to look for mysterious birds in their rugged alpine habitat. Take a look at our recent video with Tracy Aviary to learn more about their mountain conservation work.
