Vast grassland, shrubland, woodland and desert landscapes comprise rangeland ecosystems and provide ecosystem services throughout North America. Professional rangeland management specialists are needed to integrate information about plant communities, soils, wildlife species, livestock use, watershed functions, and land use policy to conserve and restore these wildland ecosystems. Rangeland management career activities include invasive plant control, endangered species surveys, or planning for a sustainable livestock operation on private or public lands.
