Please forward to your SCP Members ASAP – super amazing opportunity to participate remotely on new cutting-edge science and management!

 

The upcoming Society for Rangeland Management’s 2018 Annual Meeting (held in Sparks, Nevada this year) will feature two special symposia on cutting-edge science and management applications in sagebrush country that will be live-broadcast for online viewing. The public can watch these presentations for free in real time, as well as access the archived presentations for on-demand replays shortly after the conference.

 

These full-day sessions will be held on January 30 and February 1. Each will feature a series of 20-minute presentations by scientists and land managers. Viewers must register for these broadcasts and can do so here.

 

On January 30^th the session is called Restoring and Managing the “Emerald Islands” of the Sagebrush Sea: New Science, Sticks and Stones, and the Eager Beaver.

 

On February 1^st the session is called A Strategic, Multi-scale Approach for Managing Threats to Sagebrush Ecosystems Based on Resilience and Resistance Concepts.

Note to participants on viewing high-quality video broadcasts: Due to the limited bandwidth of internet service in some areas and controls on streaming in some government equipment and offices, some participants may experience issues with viewing a high-quality live-broadcast. If issues are anticipated or encountered, you may wish to try an alternative 3G-capable device or use a private Wi-Fi service, such as in a coffee shop or home office, to access a better video feed.

 

For questions about registering or the live broadcast, please contact: Hannah Nikonow, hannah....@iwjv.org, (307) 431-9876.

 

Thank you sincerely!
