Land Management Planning Addresses Ecological Threats (in English)

Wildfire and Invasive annual grasses and encroaching juniper can threaten the ecosystem and viability of rangeland-based agricultural operations. OSU Extension created an innovative, online land management planning course to equip rangeland-based agricultural producers with the knowledge and skills to develop land management plans that preemptively address ecological threats. As more people enroll, we can further land management plans so all Oregonians can enjoy healthy and diverse landscapes that support secure domestic food systems.
