Description of the Project
The Altar Valley Conservation Alliance, the University of Arizona and other agricultural professionals, organized and implemented workshops that supported peer-to-peer learning on brush control. Three brush management workshops occurred in January 2018, April 2018, and October 2018. The workshops engaged landowners, land managers, and scientists in observations and discussions of current brush management issues and innovative solutions. The AVCA-UA team documented the workshop outcomes through training videos, implemented a social media campaign, and incorporated lessons learned into the Global Rangelands information system.
