Rangeland Conservation
The Rangeland Ecological Service Program advances natural resource conservation efforts on state trust lands.
Recognizing the role of stewardship that agricultural lessees play in land management, the Land Office partners with lessees on range management operations to restore, enhance and maintain healthy lands, increase native plant species productivity and diversity, address at-risk species habitat needs, and enhance livestock grazing conditions.
Methods include: invasive species control, reintroduction of native vegetation, rotational grazing, installation of water pipelines and drinkers, fencing, and brush control.
