The Society for Range Management is an international organization that includes people who manage, conserve and enjoy the vast landscapes known as rangelands. We are a vibrant community that learn from each other and share our common appreciation for rangelands.
The International Society for Range Management is the professional scientific society and conservation organization whose members study, conserve, manage and sustain the varied resources of the rangelands which include prairie, shublands, woodlands, and savannahs which cover nearly half the land on earth.
SRM’s members are land managers, scientists, educators, students, ranchers and conservationists–a diverse membership guided by a professional code of ethics and unified by a strong land ethic.

Like many of us, various factors made ‘no’ seem like the sensible choice: I was at an early stage in my career, facing financial constraints, deeply committed to institutional service, juggling...
“These rangelands are disturbance dependent ecologies... They require a level of management… it’s the conservation of that landscape, that’s the wise use of our natural resources. So this idea of ‘preservation’ - just walking off and not doing anything, that doesn’t work in this typical scenario,” SRM President Goodwin said. Both private and public rangelands create a number of ecosystem services - ecological, social, and economic values - that every one in U.S., both rural and urban individuals, benefit from, so management of these lands is critical. We appreciate MeatEater hosting President Goodwin on their podcast and shedding light on the importance of rangelands and sound management - a message we will never get tired of sharing! ...

I spent too many years in the beef industry thinking that I didn’t have time to commit to SRM. It’s only now that I realize the time and money that I wasted by not being a part of this organization sooner.
