Project Background
KCOE Isom proposes to stimulate private investment in Habitat mitigation markets in seven Western states by creating a pilot-scale catalyst fund to ensure landowners’ cost recovery for land management activities that restore sage-grouse Habitat. By guaranteeing cost recovery and enabling landowner financing, the project will reduce investment risk and attract private capital into Habitat mitigation markets.
