Art of Range
The Art of Range Podcast accomplishes conservation through conversation with some of the brightest minds in rangeland management and livestock production. Washington State University rangelands and livestock Extension specialist Tip Hudson interviews researchers, ranchers, and resource professionals to bring you extended discussion on topics that are of interest to anyone in rangelands work. A new episode releases every two weeks. This project is funded by the Western Center for Risk Management Education, the Idaho Rangeland Resources Commission, and sponsors committed to our mission.

IYRP February: Mark Moritz on Pastoralist Mobility, Land & Water Security
Pastoral mobility is crucial for both the sustainable management of rangelands and the economic viability of pastoralism. It is key to livestock productivity, because it enables herds to reach resources that are unevenly dispersed across space and are often short-lived in highly variable environments. Pastoralists specialize in guiding their herds through seasonal grazing of a […]
