For two years, the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension has led a team of educators, teaching a “Range Management School” (RMS) curriculum across rural Nevada.  Modified from a Colorado program, RMS uses sound science, collaboration, and common sense within a unified message by a team of interdisciplinary instructors.  The curriculum includes sections on: grass growth/physiology, timing and duration of grazing, grazing plan strategies, riparian area management, grazing response index, animal nutrition, livestock behavior, ranch management examples, and monitoring by permittees.  RMS workshops, focusing on sustainability, are designed to put ranchers and agency range conservationists on the same page, ensuring not only better forage available for livestock, but healthy, productive rangelands for wildlife, recreation, and other uses.   Other teaching partners in this educational effort include the Nevada Department of Agriculture; Bureau of Land Management; U.S. Forest Service; Natural Resources Conservation Service; University of Nevada’s College of Agriculture, Biotechnology, and Natural Resources; and the Nevada ranching industry.  Since December of 2005, eight workshops have reached 173 participants in rural Nevada communities.  During 2006, 92% of RMS workshop participants responding to an evaluation survey indicated that they intended to use the information they learned.  Based on follow-up surveys, 97% of respondents indicated that they would incorporate some or all of the workshop material into their operation/job, and similarly, 97% said they would attend future RMS workshops.  For a mid-term program evaluation six months after the workshops, participants were mailed a follow-up survey to evaluate how useful the information received at the workshop had been to them, and how much they incorporated into their operation/job.  Approximately 71% of the respondents said that they have incorporated some or a great deal of the information they received in the workshop in their current operation/job.
