Rangeland Resource 306 class at the Arcata bottoms.
The rangeland resource curriculum at Humboldt is designed to give the student a sound basis for the sustainable use and management of rangeland ecosystems. Since range management is practiced on lands providing forage, timber, water, wildlife, and recreation, the concepts of multiple-use management are an integral part of the training. The departmental rangeland herbarium and plant and soil laboratories enhance classroom instruction. Private ranches and state or federal land near Arcata provide access to field studies of situations encountered in rangeland resource science and management.

Paleontological resources are any fossilized remains, traces, or imprints of organisms, preserved in or on the earth's crust, that are of paleontological interest and that provide information about the history of life on earth.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regards paleontological or fossil resources as a fragile, nonrenewable scientific record. The history of life on earth is an important component of America's natural heritage. If these resources are damaged, destroyed or improperly collected, their scientific and educational value may be greatly reduced or lost forever.
Many kinds of fossils can be found on the BLM-managed public lands in Oregon and Washington, some world-class in scientific importance. Fossils are the remains and traces of once-living organisms, preserved in rocks of the Earth's crust. BLM managed lands in Oregon have fossil resources ranging from near-shore Oligocene marine species along the margins of the Willamette Valley to the well-preserved, remarkably complete fossil record of plants and animals within the heavily eroded volcanic deposits of the scenic John Day River basin.
Fossil deposits in eastern Oregon, in particular, represent a time when primitive mammals began to change and adapt to new environments and show a slow transition into faunas that we recognize today. Researchers from institutions such as the University of Oregon, the University of California-Berkeley, University of Nebraska, University of Florida, and South Dakota School of Mines and Technology conduct studies on public lands to study ecological and evolutionary changes of the past 50 million years.
Two areas on public lands have been designated Areas of Critical Environmental Concern to protect paleontological resources: Logan Butte and Fossil Lake.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Gilsizer Slough Project near South Township Rd, Yuba City, CA, Friday, August 28, 2015. The project features the installation of 40 high efficiency irrigation systems (50% water saving) and 40 vegetative cover crops and filter strips; and the adoption of nutrient and pest management practices by 40 producers. The field has berms that contain this plum orchard (not related to the project) that normally uses flood irrigation to cover the soil with water from the adjacent Gilsizer Slough. But, due to the critical drought conditions, less and less water was drawn over the past four years. No water could be drawn in 2015. A well was drilled to pump ground water from the aquifer below. Water is delivered to this and other fields by way of control valves, underground pipes and surface canals. A danger to flood irrigation berms is the tunnels of borrowing animals. This can cause accelerated berm erosion and escape of irrigation water. If micro irrigation were to be installed, both systems could remain in place and work cooperatively, such as with flood being used for pest control and micro irrigation to water the tree roots. A perennial clover cover crop has been planted between the rows of trees, and emerges on it’s own each year. USDA Photo By Lance Cheung.
HILLSBORO, Ore. – About 20 miles west of the bustling, eccentric city of Portland, Juvencio Argueta Ramos and his wife Lyn Jacobs operate a diverse 2.5-acre farm called La Finquita del Buho. The name of their farm translates to “The Small Farm of the Owl.” When they first started the farm in 2000, they grew enough food to feed five families through the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) business model. Since then, they have expanded and diversified the farm, and now they grow enough food to support 100 families. Juvencio and Lyn have worked with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service to develop an Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) plan for their farm. Future plans include building a new high tunnel and integrating cover crops. They also completed a Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) contract with NRCS on a nearby piece of cattle grazing property in Yamhill County. NRCS is committed to making its programs accessible and equitable to Hispanic and Latino farmers and ranchers, and offers additional financial incentives for historically-underserved, beginning, and limited resource producers.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) State Conservationist Salvador Salinas with Federal and state partners, including representatives from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and local soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) held a press conference at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, in Austwell, TX, on Friday, Dec. 16, 2011. Salinas covered the recent announcement of the USDA-NRCS Gulf of Mexico Initiative (GoMI) efforts to improve water quality, habitat, and the health of the Gulf ecosystem. “Launching this initiative is a top priority for NRCS in Texas because the Gulf of Mexico is one of our state’s premier natural resources. It provides vital habitat for wildlife, and creates jobs in industries that depend upon them. The health of this resource is essential to Texas as well as to the nation,” said Salinas.
The Texas initiative focuses on three watersheds in Refugio, Calhoun, Victoria and Aransas counties and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. “What is really compelling about GoMI and other similar conservation efforts is that they prove that Texas farmers and ranchers not only feed and clothe us and power our vehicles, but they can also help protect and restore our rivers and provide more habitat for wildlife,” stated Salinas. “That’s why it is important that this conservation project is not about taking productive farm land out of production. This is a working lands initiative, so that not only are we helping to restore the health of the Gulf, but we’re also helping to sustain and enhance the productivity of the Gulf’s farms and ranches.” USDA photo by Lance Cheung.

ASTORINO ANNOUNCES LANDMARK AGREEMENT THAT ENSURES
PRESERVATION OF THE HISTORIC JAY PROPERTY IN RYE
Public/private partnership a model for cooperative stewardship and revitalization of other properties
Responsibility for the full restoration and long–term maintenance of the historic John Jay Property in Rye, the boyhood home of a Founding Father and the nation’s first Chief Justice, will be turned over to the Jay Heritage Center (JHC), under terms of a license agreement announced today by County Executive Robert P. Astorino at a news conference at the site.
This agreement is designed to ensure the preservation of the nationally significant property and serve as a model of cooperative stewardship that can be emulated nationwide. It will also advance shared goals of New York State, Westchester County and non-profits like JHC to promote heritage tourism by making historic resources more accessible to the public.
“It has been over 20 years since the county, working with New York State, came to the rescue of the Jay Property, saving it from demolition,” said Astorino. “Now the county is stepping in again with an innovative public/private partnership to preserve it for future generations in a way that doesn’t fall on taxpayers. In these challenging economic times, these are the kinds of solutions that are essential.”
The property is located adjacent to the county’s Marshlands Conservancy. The county and the state jointly own 21.5 acres of the site; the Jay Heritage Center owns the other 1.5-acre parcel, which contains the 1838 Jay House, built by Jay’s son on the site where his father grew up.
The new license agreement will transfer oversight for the upkeep of the property and investment in significant capital infrastructures to the Jay Heritage Center, which will raise funds as a private 501 (c) 3 and also apply for grants. Tax deductible donations from individuals and corporations will be accepted to help restore the historic meadow, the gardens, the apple orchards and rehabilitate historic structures for public educational uses as lecture halls, classical music spaces and art galleries.
At a press conference at the site, Astorino was joined Suzanne Clary, president of the Jay Heritage Center, as well as New York State Parks Deputy Commissioner Tom Alworth to announce the agreement, which must be approved by the county’s Parks Board, the Board of Acquisition and Contract, and the State Comptroller’s Office.
The Jay Property was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993 as part of the Boston Post Road Historic District. It was also named to the Westchester County African American Heritage Trail in 2004.
Most recently in 2009, it became 1 of only 100 Congressionally funded sites in the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area based on the importance of its architecture, its landscape and themes of freedom and dignity that its 10,000-year-old history embodies.
“This is an unparalleled opportunity for us to restore one of America’s greatest landscapes and open it to the public at a time when families are looking for places of beauty and history to inform and inspire their daily lives,” said the JHC’s Clary.
Deputy Commissioner Alworth also praised the agreement, saying: “Partnership agreements such as this one have been highly successful in enhancing the quality of parks and historic sites for the visiting public. The Jay Heritage Center has done an impressive job restoring the historic house, and I’m confident they will continue their excellent stewardship of the site. This public-private partnership will ensure the John Jay property remains a valued recreational and cultural resource for Westchester residents and visitors alike.”
Similarly, Albert E. Caccese, executive director of Audubon New York, said: " This is a great example of a public-private partnership that will enable this incredibly important resource to be restored and interpreted for the benefit of the community, and beyond. Audubon looks forward to working with the center as it considers its next steps in the historic, cultural and environmental interpretation and protection of the site."
The main terms are:
· The county and state, as owners, will grant a 10-year license, which is renewable after the initial term, to the Jay Heritage Center for the use of the property. This will give the Jay Heritage Center the ability to raise funds to operate the park and make improvements.
· The county and state will have the right to approve or disapprove any physical alterations to the property.
· The property will continue to be operated and maintained as state and county parkland and will be accessible to the general public. The JHC may establish admission fees, subject to approval by the state and the county consistent with county fee structures.
· JHC will create and pay for a specific maintenance and restoration schedule detailed in the agreement, dealing with landscape, invasive plant removal and restoration of historic structures, among other things.
· The county will continue to police the property.
· The county will no longer spend approximately $25,000 annually to maintain the property, and JHC the center will be responsible for ongoing maintenance and the capital improvements that the property requires.
· The county will remain responsible for the costs of any environmental remediation that may be required on the property for conditions that existed prior to the license agreement. Any environmental remediation required as a result of JHC’s restoration work will be the responsibility of JHC.

Cotton grown at the center is part of the varietyy trial.
The soils and topography of southeast Missouri offer researchers a unique opportunity to study cotton and rice production and irrigation. Researchers also are evaluating better soybean cropping systems, and weed, insect and disease-control systems. Three locations make up Fisher Delta Research Center’s 1,078 acres in a 12-county area that forms the Missouri Bootheel. Scientists at the center have gained recognition for developing improved soybean varieties, especially those with soybean cyst nematode resistance and maintain a regional soil and plant-testing laboratory.
