Hello URME Team and other Undergraduates,<div><br></div><div>The 66th annual Society for Range Management meeting provides many opportunities for undergraduate students to test and display their knowledge in different rangeland ecology and management principles. This upcoming year the meeting will take place in February (2013) in Oklahoma City, OK. In addition to participating in the Undergraduate Range Management Exam (URME), a handful of undergraduate students are interested in competing in the Plant Identification Contest held at the upcoming SRM meeting. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The Plant ID contest is challenging and will require some time to study the set list of plants that will be chosen from for the competition. Students will compete individually and their individual score will contribute to their overall university team score. Students on the team will hold study sessions until the day of the contest to help each other learn to sight identify plants. </div>
