The Wisconsin DNR will host an open house to share information on current sharp-tailed grouse management and the planning process to update the state’s sharp-tailed management plan. DNR Wildlife Management staff will be available during this open house event to answer questions and provide information on topics of stakeholder interest, including hunting, birdwatching, habitat management for sharp-tailed grouse.
Beginning in late spring 2022, the sharp-tailed grouse management plan process will work through the department’s standard development phases, ensuring time for public participation and incorporation of the most recent scientific data.
Sharp-tailed grouse are a resident game bird of Wisconsin. These grouse are dependent on young, open pine and oak barrens and savanna ecosystems. Historically, sharp-tailed grouse were found throughout the state. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, most sharp-tailed grouse in Wisconsin are now found in the northwest.
Sharp-tailed grouse management began in Wisconsin during the late 1940s and early 1950s in response to concerns of habitat loss. Today, the DNR and several partner groups are working to restore and preserve habitat necessary for sharp-tailed grouse and other barrens-dependent species. Some of the larger state-owned areas that focus on sharp-tailed grouse management include Crex Meadows Wildlife Area [exit DNR] and Namekagon Barrens Wildlife Area.
