Ecology, Management and Restoration of Rangelands Emphasis
Sustainably repairing and responsibly managing ecological systems so they can continue to supply us with resources is a tall order. Rise to the challenge with this degree. The Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources with an emphasis in Ecology, Management and Restoration of Rangelands looks at the diverse rangelands environments, including deserts, grasslands, shrublands, woodlands and meadows, with an eye on management and restoration. Students build a strong foundation in the biological, physical, ecological and botanical sciences. The program's field courses, internships, lab work and opportunities to join research and restoration projects enrich traditional classroom learning. Students graduate equipped for work conducting inventories of soils, plants and animals; developing resource management strategies with agencies or private firms; helping restore degraded lands; managing a preserve or ranch; working with endangered species; and developing plans to best manage rangeland resources.
