Rangelands wins Gold Excel Award from Association Media & Publishing
Rangelands won the Gold Excel Award in the Journals-Feature Article category for an article published in the December 2013 issue. The article, "Cross-Border Interaction Spurs Innovation and Hope Among Pastoral and Agro-Pastoral Women of Ethiopia and Kenya,"* was part of the Women as Change Agents in the World's Rangelands sponsored issue, which in turn originated from a symposium at the 2013 Society for Range Management Annual International Meeting, Technical Training and Trade Show in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Lead author, Dr. Layne Coppock, was also organizer of the sponsored issue. You can access the article at http://srmjournals.org/doi/abs/10.2111/RANGELANDS-D-13-00039.1. The article will be available with open access for a limited time so you can read the full article even if you do not have a subscription to Rangelands.
Association Media & Publishing's Excel Awards is the largest and most prestigious awards program that exclusively recognizes excellence and leadership in nonprofit association media, publishing, and communications.
A list of winners can be downloaded at: http://associationmediaandpublishing.org/EXCEL. Rangelands is mentioned on page 6 under Journals > Feature Article.
Congratulations to Rangelands Editor Dr. Lori Hidinger and all the authors* of the article!

ESD Workshop Series Available at www.Rangelands.org
As an ongoing partnership between SRM and the federal agencies (BLM, USFS and NRCS) the Ecological Site Description Workshop series continued at the 2015 Annual Meeting in Orlando with a set of four workshops taking place. As many of you know, each workshop was live-streamed to users across the country who were able to view and participate live during each session. Each workshop was also recorded, thus allowing for archived access over the course of the year for those unable to attend the Orlando meeting or participate via the live-stream.
The first two sessions are available to anyone through the SRM website at: http://www.rangelands.org/ESD/index.shtml. The first two workshops, "ESD Uses and Users" and the "Unifying Concepts for Riparian Ecological Sites", cover a whole range of introductory and foundational materials and will remain available free of charge through the SRM website.
The third and fourth Orlando ESD sessions will be available to SRM members only. These sessions, titled "Emerging Technologies for ESD Development" and "Integrating Ecological Sites Into a Spatial Hierarchy to Improve Predictions", can be accessed through the members only page of the SRM Website. They can be found by clicking on the Resources tab of the "Members-Only" page. This is a great opportunity to encourage your fellow colleagues to get involved in the Society. They'll gain access to not only great information like the ESD workshops, but all that SRM has to offer.
A technical note: When accessing each workshop, allow for additional time so that your computer can load the workshops without causing too much "buffer" time when viewing. Each workshop will be directed to you through a web link, so ensure you have stable and consistent internet connection.
SRM hopes that you will take advantage of these workshops and all that each has to offer within the ESD field; if you have any questions regarding access to any of the workshops, please email SRM Washington, D.C. Liaison at [email protected].

The Northern Great Plains Section of the Society for Range Management and the North Dakota Chapter of the Wildlife Society co-sponsored the Cool-Season Invasive Grasses of the Northern Great Plains Workshop on March 18-19, 2014 in Fargo, ND. The Workshop was developed by North Dakota State University faculty from the Range Science and Natural Resources Management Programs.

Attendees came from throughout the region including North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, and Saskatchewan.
