Working Lands for Wildlife video presentations from the 2019 Society for Range Management Conference now available for viewing
Did you miss the Society for Range Management’s 2019 Conference in Minneapolis this past February? Even if you were able to attend, you may not have caught all the different presentations during the packed few days.
Fortunately, we recorded the presentations that Working Lands for Wildlife sponsored under the “Harnessing Technology to Improve Conservation Effectiveness on Western Working Lands” symposium.
These nine presentations detail new technological innovations that are revolutionizing how managers, ranchers, and others can monitor, study, evaluate threats, and improve working rangelands across the West. Each presentation features the Sage Grouse Initiative and Lesser Prairie Chicken Initiative-affiliated researchers who helped develop these technologies for sagebrush and Great Plains ecosystems.
Through these informative and engaging presentations, range management professionals and producers can learn how to apply these innovations to their respective ranges.
All nine presentations are collected in one place on SGI’s YouTube channel and are available for viewing at your leisure. Each presentation is roughly 20 minutes long and includes clear audio and clear images from each presenter’s slides.
Read the full list of presentation titles, what you’ll learn from each presentation, and the presenter below or visit the playlist on SGI’s YouTube channel. While you’re there, check out the other videos we have, including prior SRM Conference symposium presentations.
