Range Camp is an intensive 4-day camp held at the Gooseberry Forest Service Campground in Salina Canyon. The cost of the camp is just $100, which includes meals and materials. The camp is open to 25 high school students age 15 and older. The top two individuals will receive an expense paid trip to the International Society for Range Management Convention which will be held in early February 2011 in Billings, Montana. There they will have the opportunity to participate in the High School Youth Forum with other students from around the country.
The Field School offers students a background in ecological principles and the tools used to measure the health of our rangelands, as well as an understanding of the resource management process. A great deal of time is spent in learning and discussing the roles of humans in natural resources, with special attention given to the process of resolving conflict. The Field School includes a balance of outdoor activities, hikes, and classroom study.
Instructors for the school are Society for Range Management members from University faculty, agency professionals, and private consultants from around the state.
Sponsorships are available through various county and state agencies, such as Conservation District Boards, Farm Bureau, school districts, FFA chapters, and others involved in conservation of our Natural Resources.
