2014 Rangeland Cup Orlando
Rangeland landscapes are mosaics of diverse ecological sites, production potentials and landownership, with equally divers land use goals. Although geopolitical boundaries constrain direct management actions to parcels under a particular manager's oversight, management actions implemented on one pasture, allotment, ranch, etc. may impact other users of rangeland goods and services. An improvement project on one parcel may have unintended consequences - and such consequences may be separated, in space and time, from where the management action occurred.
For more information about the topic and to register, go to:
http://rangelands.org/RangelandCup/index.shtml

Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award Nominations, Due Nov. 1, 2013
The Range Science Education Council recognizes teaching excellence of university rangeland courses with two awards:
OUTSTANDING UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING AWARD:
Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award was established to encourage and recognize individual excellence in teaching that has extended over the course of many years. Such teaching rises above good instruction: it incites intellectual curiosity in students, engages them thoroughly in the process of learning, and has a life-long impact.
EARLY CAREER UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING AWARD:
The Early Career Undergraduate Teaching Award recognizes excellence in teaching and advising Range Management students at the undergraduate level by faculty/instructors who are in the early stages of their teaching careers.
For more information and nomination forms, go to: http://www.rangelands.org/RSEC/Teaching_Award_Nominations.htm
