Annual Webinar
The annual webinar is an opportunity for researchers working at the ranch to provide updates on research projects in various stages of completion. Additionally, we include updates from monitoring efforts including upland vegetation, stream and sage-grouse monitoring, as well as upcoming conservation projects. The webinar is a venue for all those working at the ranch to inform each other and stakeholders about plans and results from projects.
