Target Audience:Our target audience includes producers, Extension and outreach professionals, state and federal agency personnel, NGOs, tribal groups, and scientists. Changes/Problems:COVID-19 impacted our work beginning in March 2020 and although people are relatively adapted to this "new normal," there were some alterations that occurred this reporting period that allowed us to adapt, pivot, and become more resilient. Several events from last reporting period that were cancelled in 2020, were able to occur in 2021. These events included a youth Rangeland and Soils Days, an adult Range Camp, and an adult Grassland Workshop. We continue to develop alternative ways of dissemination, including relying more heavily on written articles, radio interviews, and virtual presentations and webinars. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Several professional development and training activities were attended by Peter Bauman, Krista Ehlert, Sean Kelly, Jessalyn Bachler, and Sandy Smart. Over the life of the project, these individuals attended 39 conferences and workshops for professional development and training activities. Training activities included several webinars about riparian restoration in rangelands (Ehlert). RREA webinars were utilized to expand knowledge and skillsets of Extension and outreach topics like engaging youth in natural resources, climate change education, growing community science, reaching underserved and nontraditional audiences, implementing peer to peer learning, and engaging local communities (Ehlert). Other webinars attended focused on drought approaches (Ehlert;) and improving calving strategies (Ehlert). Bachler attended Range Camp as a professional development activity. Bauman attended the South Dakota Master Naturalist Program. The individuals listed above also attended professional conferences to present research and outreach information, as well as gain knowledge from other presenters. Ehlert, Bauman, Smart, and Kelly attended Society for Range Management Annual Meetings both in person and virtually. Bauman, Ehlert, Bachler, and Kelly attended the SDSU Extension Annual Conference both in person and virtually. Lastly, Ehlert attended the Rangelands Partnership Annual Meetings held in person and virtually, as the South Dakota's range representative. The impacts of these professional development and training activities include increased knowledge of range management topics, as well as improved ability and capacity to offer RREA programming to a variety of audiences such as youth, underserved populations, producers, and the public. In addition, these activities have allowed the South Dakota range professionals on this project to interact and network with other professionals, enhancing partnerships both within state and across state lines. This has also been an avenue to increase the visibility of South Dakota's range Extension and outreach programs, highlighting the success our team has had. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results of this project have been disseminated through the SDSU Extension website (extension.sdstate.edu), the SD Grassland Coalition newsletter, the Mid-Missouri River Prescribed Burn Association newsletter, radio interviews, and in-person to individuals attending workshops. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

What was accomplished under these goals?
Objective 1: Promote grazing land management and best management practices through a variety of educational events (100% accomplished). Several activities were conducted throughout this reporting period that are categorized as: 1) Prescribed burns, 2) Ranch visits, 3) Workshops, 4) Youth, 5) Tours, 6) Radio interviews, 7) Presentations, and 8) Meetings. Prescribed burns: Thirty-three (33) prescribed burn activities were conducted with 3,027 total participants over the life of the project. Prescribed burns were conducted to control eastern red cedar encroachment into rangelands. The results included improved rangeland condition and wildlife habitat. Participants benefitted by learning about prescribed burning from the initial planning phases (site assessment, wildfire risk, timing, equipment and personnel needs) to safely implementing a prescribed burn. Ranch visits: Seventy-five (75) ranch visits and consultations were conducted with 68 operations over the life of the project. The purpose was to consult with producers about questions they had concerning a variety of topics such as grazing management and rotations, water development, invasive species control, plant identification, whole ranch planning, and ranch economics. The participants gained knowledge of these topics and were able to ask questions of a range professional, allowing them to implement beneficial practices to improve range condition (e.g., rotational grazing, wildlife and pollinator habitat development, native species planting). Workshops: Sixty-seven (67) total workshops were held for agency professionals and producers, covering the topics including grass management, grazing practices, women in agriculture, dormant season wildfire impacts, and marketing. There were 3,090 participants over the life of the project. Impacts of these workshops included increased knowledge of topics such as range ecology, plant identification, grazing strategies, water development, rotational grazing, wildfire impacts, marketing, prescribed grazing, and invasive species. Participants also learned about the availability of experts and cost-share programs throughout the state. Youth: Twenty-one (21) total activities were held for youth that focused on Youth Range Days, Rangeland and Soils Day, and Youth Pasture Walks. There were 1,530 participants over the life of the project. Youth were exposed to basic range ecology and management principles, learned range and soil judging skills, and competed in range and soil judging contests. In addition, youth learned about job opportunities in range management and were taught by range professionals who can serve as mentors in their future range endeavors. Tours: Fifteen (15) pasture walks and tours were held for 930 participants over the life of the project. Main focal areas were bird tours, research farm tours, and producer field tours. These activities exposed participants to the ecosystem services rangelands provide (e.g., bird habitat), provided a basis for understanding research that is being conducted to address resource concerns (e.g., research farm tours), and allowed participants to learn from peers while being exposed to different management styles (e.g., producer field tours). Radio interviews: Twenty (20) radio spots were covered over the life of the project that focused on the topics of grazing management, agritourism, virtual fencing, grazing management, and upcoming events. Benefits included increased knowledge of grazing management topics, as well as listener exposure to current and future events related to range management. Publications: One-hundred thirty-two (132) publications were produced during the life of the project. Topics covered were wide-ranging but included plant identification, grazing strategies, invasive species control, cost-share programs, pollinator habitat and benefits, economic considerations, and monitoring. Presentations: Twenty-five (25) presentations were given at conferences such as the Society for Range Management Annual Meeting, the Lemmon Wildfire Conference, Nebraska Grazing Conference, and the SDSU Fire School over the life of the project. There were 1,835 participants. Presentations covered topics including grazing management, wildfire and prescribed fire impacts, invasive species control focused on eastern red cedar encroachment, a sustainable agriculture curriculum for middle schoolers, and targeted grazing. Benefits for participants include increased knowledge of these topics, as well as listener exposure to range professionals in the state. Meetings: Sixty-one (61) meetings were held with stakeholder groups over the life of the project, including the Mid-Missouri River Prescribed Burn Association (MMRPBA), World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy, Great Plains Fire Summit, the SD Grassland Coalition. Topics addressed during the meetings were prescribed burning, bison management on rangelands, riparian restoration, and the development of range educational programs. Benefits of these meetings are strengthened partnerships with key stakeholder groups and, ultimately, projects and educational programs that address resource concerns in South Dakota.
