Range Forum

Rangeland Research Pipeline

April 13 &14, 2010.
1 1/2 days- times to be announced
A.R.S. Annex Conf. Rm. (now known as the Bridge)
Mandan, ND

One of the purposes of the Range Forum was to provide "... a way to meet people in grassland management and to find out what others are doing. Keeping up with the latest research and knowing what others are doing is invaluable both to building individual careers and for fostering understanding."  This Forum is central to the concept that knowing about ongoing research before we read about it in the journals fosters better research and also opportunities for collaboration.  In return, the research scientists have a chance to find out from the "front line" managers what the current issues and concerns might be.  Managers might include agency personal, ranchers, farmers or people who are interested and concerned about the future of our rangelands.

The Rangeland Research Pipeline will give people an opportunity to meet and see what is "in the Research Pipeline".

The goals of this symposium are to:

    1) Share research currently being conducted in the northern Great Plains.  This is not research results but rather a reporting of what is being done.

    2) Develop research collaborations both between research groups and between research groups and land management agencies and/or special interest groups (TNC, DU etc).

    3) Gathering information regarding what management agencies and other see as the most pressing research needs in the northern Great Plains.
