May Photo Quiz
Mark Twain once quipped that "history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme." What historical memories might this recent rangeland scene from southeastern Colorado stir up? How is it similar - or different - from may have been seen before? Are there any other oft-repeated observations that might apply?
Send your observations (and your own quiz-worthy range photos) to vtrujillo@rangelands.org, subject line "Range Photo Quiz". Be sure to include a question and answer with the photo! Send your responses by the 25th of the month to meet our deadlines!

Birds, Bees, Flowers and Food: Exploring Colorado's Pollinators
June 22 or June 23, 2013
A worldwide pollinator crisis has been prominent in news headlines, but it's not simply beekeepers and farmers who depend on the pollination services of the European honey bee and a whole suite of native pollinators. Pollinators enable the reproduction of native plants, which maintain the basis of most food webs-as well as the production of one out of every three bites we humans consume at the dinner table. This workshop will describe the process of pollination, how to identify the reproductive parts of a plant, as well as the roles birds, bees and many other insects play.

2012-2013 NAIPSC Webinar Series
The last webinar for the 2012-2013 NAIPSC Webinar Series was May 8, 2013. We heard from Charlotte Adelman, co-author of Midwestern Native Garden discuss her book and the use of native plants instead of invasive or non-native plants in the landscape. Have some tulips, chrysanthemums, or Kentucky bluegrass in your garden, around your house, or in a location nearby? Did you know that there are natives available with similar features, which also support native insect and bird populations? Not from the Midwest? Don't worry because the same concepts apply to any region of the country or part of the world. Read more about the book and Ms. Adelman here
Even though the webinar was last week, you can still hear the archived version along with all 15 of the other webinars from the series. All you need to do is go to the eLibrary website (http://passel.unl.edu/communities/naipsc) to sign up and/or participate. And, if you're interested in the 2013 NAIPSC Field Course, we're still taking registrations (http://ipscourse.unl.edu).

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

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.
