Lost Resource: Thane Johnson
Jan. 15, 1929 - April 23, 2013
Thane was well-known for his strong dedication to rangelands, their management, and the profession of range management. He was very interested in the development and proving of rangeland improvement equipment, e.g. those developed at the USFS Equipment Development Center in Montana, and he worked hard to facilitate dialogue among researchers and range managers to streamline the adoption of new equipment and techniques.
Former BLM colleague John Baker noted that "At work Thane was always pleasant. He always answered the phone with 'Happy Range Management Day!' He was always promoting membership within SRM to new employees, encouraging them to join the society."
Thane was preceded in death by his wife Gloria and is survived by his children; Carol Klein of Boise, ID, Jerry Johnson of Idaho Falls, ID, Julie Stasch of Lakewood, CO, 13 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, brother Raleigh and Sister Eunice. Funeral services took place Thursday, April 25 in Lakewood, CO. Burial took place in Fish Haven, Idaho.

Interpreting and Measuring Indicators of Rangeland Health
May 21-24 2013, in Reno, NV
This course will teach participants how to apply the "Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health" qualitative evaluation protocol and learn how to quantify (measure) selected indicators. The protocol is widely applied by individuals and agencies to provide early warning of potential degradation, opportunities for recovery and to help design monitoring programs. The quantitative indicators can also be used as baseline for monitoring. This workshop is for Individuals with little or no experience with the protocols, individuals who would like to improve their ability to consistently apply the protocols, and anyone who is interested in learning how to objectively evaluate rangelands.

Minimizing Drought-Induced Frustrations on Range
Are you wondering if you should reduce your herd size this year?
Do you have the feeling that as soon as you sell it will rain and turn everything around?
If so, there will be two workshops to help you through the decision making process. Whether you own rangeland and cattle, or you are a property owner who leases range, or you are leasing rangeland for your cattle, you will gain valuable information from these workshops. Young aspiring ranchers are particularly invited to attend.
