SUMMARY:Double Feature: Virtual Screening of First Came Collaboration and Ranching for Riparia
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive double feature film screening and panel discussion about rangeland restoration\, collaboration and the need for more flexibility within federal lands grazing permits.\n\nPublic lands ranching gets a lot of stick for degrading landscapes in the West\, but the experience of a growing number of ranchers is showing that the problem isn’t the cow\, it’s the how.\nIn First Came Collaboration: Ranching for Riparia\, we meet the owners of the Cottonwood and Boies ranches\, outside of Elko\, Nevada. Three decades ago\, they came together to form the Shoesole Resource Management Group: a conservation collaboration involving federal\, state\, local\, and private partners dedicated to holistic livestock grazing management. The results of their hard work are astounding\, and show a pathway forward for our public lands that needs a brighter spotlight.   \nIn Against the Herd\, we dive deeper into this story with the Cottonwood Ranch and uncover the major barrier to growing this model of management on public lands around the West: regulatory red tape and the threat of lawsuits from radical environmental organizations bent on removing all livestock from public land\, no matter the cost.   \nFollowing the films\, stay with us to hear from the principals: Agee Smith of Cottonwood Ranch and Robin Boies of Boies Ranch\, along with biologist Carol Evans. Ask your questions and join the conversation about grazing on public lands and what the future holds for these precious landscapes.

SUMMARY:Spring 2025 Semester Low-Tech Restoration Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the Low-Tech Process-Based Restoration (LT-PBR) workshop series is to provide restoration practitioners with guidelines for implementing a subset of low-tech tools—namely beaver dam analogues (BDAs) and post-assisted log structures (PALS)—for initiating process-based restoration in structurally-starved riverscapes. Utah State University’s Restoration Consortium will describe ‘low-tech process-based restoration’ (LT-PBR) as a practice of using simple\, low unit-cost\, structural additions (e.g. wood and beaver dams) to riverscapes to mimic functions and initiate specific processes. Hallmarks of this approach include: \n\nAn explicit focus on the processes that a low-tech restoration intervention is meant to promote\nA conscious effort to use cost-effective\, low-tech treatments (e.g. hand-built\, natural materials\, non-engineered\, short-term design life-spans) because of the need to efficiently scale-up application.\n‘Letting the system do the work’ which defers critical decision making to riverscapes and nature’s ecosystem engineers\n\nSpring LT-PBR Dates\n\n\n\nCourse #\nCourse Name\nDates\n\n\nCEWA 5620\nIntroduction to LT-PBR\nJan 7\, 14 & 21\n\n\nCEWA 5622\nPlanning of LT-PBR\nJan 28 & Feb 4\, 11\n\n\nCEWA 5621\nScience and Case Studies of LT-PBR\nFeb 18\, 25 & Mar 4    \n\n\nCEWA 5623\nDesign of LT-PBR\nMar 18\, 25 & Apr 1\n\n\nCEWA 5624\nImplementation of LT-PBR\nApr 8 & 12*\n\n\nCEWA 5625\nAdaptive Management of LT-PBR\nApr 15 & 22\n\n\n\n\nRegistration opens November 14th.\n\nTime: Tuesdays 1:30 – 4:15\nFormat: Online via Zoom (*April 15 9a-5p Saturday field trip in Logan\, UT)\nCost: $315 per course (*$415 for CEWA 5624) \nCourses can be taken individually or as a series. \nContact Ryan Thomas\,  restoration@usu.edu\, with any questions.
