Range Managers

01

Regulate grazing, such as by issuing permits and checking for compliance with standards, and help ranchers plan and organize grazing systems to manage, improve, protect, and maximize the use of rangelands.

02

Manage forage resources through fire, herbicide use, or revegetation to maintain a sustainable yield from the land.

03

Coordinate with federal land managers and other agencies and organizations to manage and protect rangelands.

04

Measure and assess vegetation resources for biological assessment companies, environmental impact statements, and rangeland monitoring programs.

05

Maintain soil stability and vegetation for non-grazing uses, such as wildlife habitats and outdoor recreation.

06

Study grazing patterns to determine number and kind of livestock that can be most profitably grazed and to determine the best grazing seasons.

07

Offer advice to rangeland users on water management, forage production methods, and control of brush.

08

Plan and direct construction and maintenance of range improvements, such as fencing, corrals, stock-watering reservoirs, and soil-erosion control structures.

Mediate agreements among rangeland users and preservationists as to appropriate land use and management.

Study rangeland management practices and research range problems to provide sustained production of forage, livestock, and wildlife.
