“We aren’t truly sovereign until we can feed ourselves.” - Delane Atcitty Excited to be at the @incatcd conference in Las Vegas this week and hear stories, perspectives, and needs from our partners on the @_NatGLC Western Grazing Network project.

As scientists, ground-truthing is so important. Small diff in veg, mgmt histories, & moisture can often get lost in resources like Ecological Site Descriptions. Walking the ground, while learning from those who steward it, is one of the most important parts of the sci process.

Soak in the beauty... The WLC team spent time in N NM & S CO with some stunning landscapes & dedicated stewards. We feel lucky to exp these special places & meet the amazing folks working them every day. Getting grounded & building trust is the 1st step of every project. [1/2]

The champions of the Western Grazing Network, @_NatGLC, are doing the work to truly support land stewards. We are so excited to use our science as part of a toolbox to quantify the good work of folks on the ground. [2/2]

Megan, our superb Soil Science Program Director, spent the day with agricultural educators to speak on soil health in rangelands. Nothing better than digging holes and kicking dirt with rad folks! Many thanks to @usuextension for including us in this workshop!

We've been visiting inspiring stewards across the West. We toured the Dugout Ranch, owned by @nature_org. The working ranch is managed by the Redd family. We feel so privileged to learn from the Redds & researchers working to conserve these stunning desert landscapes.

Our rangeland carbon project is looking for two postdocs - one at @LamontEarth & one at @WoodwellClimate (ad coming very soon). This is an amazing opportunity to do data-driven science at scale working in collaboration with multiple on-the-ground conservation organizations.
Consider joining my soil lab at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University: apply.interfolio.com/147954. I'm looking for a postdoc passionate about grassland soils :) Prior experience in digital soil mapping, process-based modeling, and remote sensing would be ideal!

Many exciting things are happening at WLC! We have 2 new team members! First up is Kendall Beals! She is a soil microbial ecologist working with the Lien Lab @uarizona, landowners, & conservationists to identify the effects of rangeland stream restoration on C sequestration.

Next is Elana Feldman - our new Project Manager! Elana is an ecologist deeply interested in human interactions with the land, particularly how we can work together to maintain natural areas for a broad spectrum of uses. She is managing our flagship 3 Creeks Grazing Project!

If these Utah Greater Sage-Grouse could talk, they'd agree that "What's good for the bird is good for the herd." Learn how ranchers are helping to aid these birds with technical and financial assistance from @USDA_NRCS. Learn more: nrcs.usda.gov/programs-initi… @WLFWildlife
