rangeland assessment, ecology, rangeland or riparian monitoring, management, health, grazing, prescribed burning, wildlife, soils, Ecological Site Description (ESD)
2) Must NOT cover subject matter required for you to perform your job, such as, but not limited to;

PLEASE NOTE: CEUs are calculated in whole hours only; use standard rule for rounding up/down.
It is recognized that continuing education and training can take place in a number of fields closely allied to rangeland management and science. Training and education on geology or water rights would generally not be approved, nor would committee or general meeting business. Development of a scientific based extension (or other) program on rangeland topics would be approved, but the developer/presenter can only obtain credit once for any series of related presentations. Attendees will also only be awarded credit once for their participation in duplicate program/sessions.
