2014 Youth Range Workshop, June 22 - June 27

Management needs of rangelands are as diverse as the state - and require innovative approaches for good manage-

ment. Each part of the state is unique and no two management approaches will achieve the same results, even on ad-

jacent properties. Users of rangelands are also varied. Most people think only of beef cattle, but wildlife, and humans

are also users. Remember, rangelands are a type of land - not a land use.

This workshop has many hands on activities: plant id and collecting, plant species composition, total ranch plan-

ning, stocking rate evaluation, etc. Special sessions are held on water and total resource management.

The dynamic curriculum is constantly changed as increasing importance is placed on the landowner's ability to make

sound environmental, social and economic decisions Applications/information, see the web at: www.rangelands.org/texas/youtheducation.htm

Market Poultry Workshop
