Open Range, Open Parks, Open Minds: Opportunities For Outreach In Grazed Parks And Ranches
Description
Hikers, hang gliders, bikers, horseback riders, fences, gates, cows, bulls, ranchers…all in one place! How do we do this? In spring 2013, the Central Coast Rangeland Coalition discussed managing visitor use alongside livestock operations and explores opportunities for public outreach. The usual mix of lands managers, livestock operators, conservationists, scientists, educators, land owners, agency personnel, and outdoors people heard from a variety of perspectives on this subject, which is important to the group’s vision of sustaining vibrant human and ecological communities on the Central Coast’s rangelands.
