Grazing permittees, heads up - there’s a roundtable May 4th in Grand Junction, CO as well as elsewhere across the country.

The roundtable will bring together permittees and lessees with leadership from the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to increase dialogue and on-the-ground problem-solving for grazing issues, in fulfillment of the USDA/DOI Grazing Industry Plan released by the Departments last fall.

Please RSVP in advance for further information ahead of the roundtable.

Additional scientific perspective…

New research questions Yellowstone wolf “mega-cascade” narrative — Utah State and Colorado State scientists say claims of 1,500% willow growth following wolf reintroduction relied on circular modeling and sampling errors. The findings support more modest, localized predator impacts rather than ecosystem-wide transformation, underscoring the complexity of managed wildlife systems and the need for rigorous evidence when evaluating conservation interventions. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260212025612.htm
