The 320-acre Dormaier unit is located one-half mile west of the Chester Butte unit.. Like the Chester Butte unit, this area provides habitat for wildlife that are dependent on shrubsteppe habitat for all or part of the year. This is a good area to find sage sparrows, Brewer�s sparrows and sage thrashers. Sage grouse use the area for nesting, and throughout the winter months. Once used by the endangered pygmy rabbit, the unit�s deep soils and mature sagebrush makes it a potential release site for the reintroduction of the endangered pygmy rabbit. In 2007 100 acres of agricultural fields that had been abandoned in the 1950�s were reseeded to native vegetation. Future management of the area will focus on ensuring the success of this project and control of noxious weeds. Elevation ranges from 2,300 feet to about 2,170 feet.
