Rangeland ecology and management
Bachelor of Science
Out on the range
Nearly half the land on Earth is rangeland. This includes grasslands, shrublands, woodlands and desert. Managing these natural landscapes and wild habitats – and the life that exists on them – requires specialized skills and science-based knowledge.
In this program, you will learn how to manage, conserve and restore rangelands. Deeply rooted in ecology, the program provides a solid understanding of ecological restoration and the effects of soil, animal grazing, fire and climate change on plants. You will also study topics in livestock management, wildlife, social factors, recreation, agriculture and other areas of natural resource management.
