Rangeland Partnership Members,

During this year's annual meeting, you heard from Dr. Jason Karl (Idaho) about a proposal to the USDA NRCS's Conservation Innovation Grant program entitled:  "A National Grazingland Information System: Expanding GlobalRangelands.org Through a Grazingland Thesaurus and Mobile Content Access".

We're happy to say that the project was funded just last week!
https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/newsroom/releases/?cid=NRCSEPRD1411217

A number of you were involved in the discussions and planning - so thank you to all involved for your efforts!

This project will provide some funding for the RP, and allow us to pursue innovative new enhancements - a national grazinglands vocabulary/ontology, a grazing-centric document collection, and mobile-oriented access to these resources - to our collective work at GlobalRangelands.org.  The core project teams are at Idaho and Arizona, but we'll be engaging a number of RP members for help and expertise as the project progresses.  I've attached the project "factsheet" and proposal narrative to provide more details about it.

Please let me, Jason (jkarl at uidaho.edu<mailto:jkarl at uidaho.edu>), Jeanne Pfander (jpfander at email.arizona.edu<mailto:jpfander at email.arizona.edu>), or George Ruyle (gruyle at cals.arizona.edu<mailto:gruyle at cals.arizona.edu>) know if you have any questions.

Hope your summer is going well!
