Annual Meeting

The Society for Range Management 2024 annual meeting theme is “Change on the Range.” While change can be difficult for most, SRM embraces it. With Change on the Range as this year’s theme, it is fitting to have sessions of collaboration of people from many different walks of life, but with the same common ground of a passion for rangelands. There will be sessions on wildlife restoration, private land conservation, economics, equine science, stocking rates, research, grazing, soil health, virtual fencing, ranching, and many more topics, all including topics of change within these sessions, and in sessions on their own.
