Upcoming Events
Rangeland Ecology and Management Field Course
Northern Great Basin Experimental Range, Riley, Oregon
May 22-23rd
Threat-Based Strategic Rangeland Management two-day field workshop for natural resource professionals
The first day will cover a variety of topics such as soil ecology, plant ID, invasive annual grass and juniper management, and the foundations behind applying remotely sensed data. The second day will focus on taking the foundations from day 1 and learning how to ensure that planning and management meaningfully influences landscape scale dynamics. Topics will include defending and growing core rangelands, identifying threats, prioritizing areas of ecological importance, synthesizing remotely sensed data, and applying different types of knowledge to address threats at multiple scales on the ground knowledge to manage at meaningful scales. For those of you familiar, this will be similar to the college science in the sagebrush steppe field training we do for universities but targeted for natural resource professionals.
The training is $100 and will include all meals. Registration will open in March.
Past Events
Mesic prioritization at Trout Creek Ranch: Tools for prioritizing mesic restoration across large landscapes
Please join us on April 16th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm PST for a SageCon hosted webinar highlighting the importance of riparian/mesic work while providing short and informative presentations on selected decision support tools for riparian restoration at multiple scales. The webinar will be centered around a case study at Trout Creek Ranch in Fields, OR where The Nature Conservancy and Oregon Desert Land Trust are combining remote sensing products, field assessments and local knowledge to prioritize restoration and management action across 500,000 acres of rangeland. The presentations will feature multiple presenters with intimate knowledge and experience working with tools that have proven to be highly effective including the Oregon Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDE) Atlas, Climate Engine, and more. This webinar is intended for anyone interested in building awareness and knowledge around managing some of the most diverse and lush natural communities on our rangelands.
