Rangeland Management
Rangeland management involves the sustainable use and conservation of natural grasslands, shrublands, and other open spaces that support livestock grazing and wildlife. This practice aims to maintain the health of these ecosystems while balancing the needs of agriculture, recreation, and biodiversity. Effective management includes monitoring vegetation, soil health, and water resources to ensure that the land remains productive and resilient.
Key strategies in rangeland management include rotational grazing, which allows pastures to recover, and controlled burns to manage invasive species. Additionally, landowners often collaborate with government agencies and environmental organizations to implement best practices and promote ecological balance.
