Ken Fulgham, SRM Director
Change on the Range was an effort during the 1980s to reform federal rangeland management policies. Now we as practitioners of sustainable rangeland management must contend with another instrument that will potentially change rangelands and that is the impact of climate change.

Conservation Stewardship Program Applications Due by June 14
The Natural Resources Conservation Service, May 30, 2013 -- The Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) deadline has been extended to June 14, 2013 and will provide about $175 million in funding for enrollment of up to 12.6 million additional acres this year.

Although applications are accepted all year, farmers, ranchers, and forestland owners interested in CSP should submit applications by June 14 to their local NRCS office to ensure they are considered for this year’s funding.
