WELCOME

We are the Colorado Chapter of the Society for Range Management. This is the professional society dedicated to supporting persons who work with rangelands and have a commitment to their sustainable use. Rangelands are about 50% of terrestrial lands on earth, and provide ecosystem services and wildlife habitat, protect watershed health, and support livelihoods. The Society for Range Management is dedicated to the conservation and sustainable management of rangelands for the benefit of current societies and for future generations.

We will NOT have a Board of Directors meeting at the International SRM meeting in Boise in February. However, we WILL have a joint social with CSU alumni and CSSRM on Tuesday February 14th from 5:30 to 7:30pm in Room 410A. We hope to see you there!
Have you renewed your SRM membership for this year with Allan Press but haven't received email blasts from CSSRM? Contact our Membership Committee Chair, Kathleen, kmdelzell@gmail.com and ask for help. We've had a few folks assigned to the wrong section and we want to correct this!
