This month’s subscriber edition of Alternative Press Magazine is a photograph taken by Bob. Here’s the telling of the story by the fine folks at Photoshelter.com.

New publication blends science and policy

As you may know, the Great Basin, which is most of Nevada and parts of other western states, is made up of huge, fire-prone rangelands.

My former employer, and my current employer, came together with various state and federal agencies (at the urging of Resource Concepts, Inc. in Carson City), and presented a forum at the University of Nevada, Reno. Eminent range scientists were gathered to give their recommendations about Nevada’s fire problem, and what can be done, if anything, about it.

The resulting work was just released as a 44-page publication called, “Great Basin Wildfire Forum: The Search for Solutions.”

The sheep are back grazing cheatgrass in the hills of Carson City, Nevada. Ann Bollinger from Carson City Parks and Open Space discusses the grazing project and how targeted grazing can be used to help manage invasive weeds and protect homes from wildfires.

This is an example of government communications that takes advantage of social media opportunities, in this case, Youtube.
