Body

The Patch Burn Grazing Working Group began as a group of researchers and land managers working to coordinate learning on pyric herbivory. The meeting of the minds led to a listserv and annual meetings that included state-of-the-science presentations and field trips. The composition of the group also expanded to include landowners and practitioners to the extent that the landowners outnumbered the agency and university staff at the last meeting. Support for the meetings similarly evolved. This paper will discuss results from a survey to understand member satisfaction and the impact of this community of practice on land management of the Great Plains.
