Education

Our education program has three main components devoted to the transfer of science based information to land managers, students, teachers, and the public.

Fortunately, we have an outstanding working relationship with one of the premier non-profit organizations devoted to K-12 science literacy in the nation, the Asombro Institute for Science Education. This award winning organization improves existing science literacy for over 15,000 students and teachers each year.  In addition the Asombro Institute is responsible for our Schoolyard Desert Discovery Project, funded by the National Science Foundation. The Asombro Institute's many high quality K-12 education programs have resulted in improved science test scores for participating students.

We also develop training materials on techniques and tools for describing, assessing, and monitoring land.

Finally, on occasion, we offer webinars that provide information on specific topics.  Often, these web based seminars are eligible for continuing education credit from the Society for Range Management.
