Description
The Wyoming Department of Agriculture’s Rangeland Health Assessment Program supports projects that collect and report data on rangeland conditions in Wyoming. Its goal is to bring permittees and land-management agency personnel together to coordinate cooperative rangeland health assessments. Projects may run for one or more years, with schedules that account for monitoring seasons and data analysis.
The program emphasizes planned monitoring, partner participation and findings that can inform management decisions. Applications explain the need for an assessment, the project’s goals and intended uses of its results. Funded projects submit a monitoring plan, yearly plans of work when funding is needed, project updates and a final report.
