Recently, Tracy had the opportunity to a training for the Great Basin Institute Trail Crew in summer of 2021 at the Santa Rosa Range. The Great Basin Institute is an interdisciplinary field studies organization that promotes environmental research, education, and service throughout the West. Founded in 1998 at the University of Nevada, GBI advances applied research to support science-based adaptive management of public lands. The Institute is dedicated to the promotion of science through field studies programs, conservation practices, and public outreach. Their work is amazingly important, and getting to be a part of equipping their teams was an exciting opportunity for us.

In November, Tracy had the opportunity to visit Samarkand State University and work with drone programs as a part of the Central Asian Rangelands: Global Challenges and Global Opportunities International Conference. She got to present and teach, visit plot sites for sage and forage kochia, and work with some members of the agricultural research community who came from Tashkent for this event to fly drone. You can also see the ongoing seeding of sagebrush that was being carried out during the time that Tracy was there. Drones are helping to change the state of rangeland management and agriculture all around the world, and our team is so excited to be a part of that.
