Range school scholarship cutoff date extended for westKansas "We have had a great response to our range schools set for this August--the east school has filled up, but we still room for several more interested people in the west school," said Tim Christian. The extended cutoff for west school scholarship applications is Aug. 6. Regular price for the school tuition is $250, but KGLC is offering scholarships of $150. Forms are available at www.kglc.org or call 620-241-3636 to apply, the state coordinator for the Kansas Grazing Lands Coalition, Inc., continued. If you are interested in attending don't wait too long to apply as we expect the west school will fill up as well. Principles of Rangeland Management--Grass and Animal Ecology in Kansas is a three-day school directed at ranchers, land managers, and others interested in knowing more about this vital natural resource. The west school will be held Aug. 19 through 21 at Camp Aldrich, Claflin, said Christian. The east school is filling up quickly, but space is still available for the west school. Again, he noted that the featured speakers at the west school are Ted Alexander, rancher, Sun City; Jeff Hansen, Kansas Native Plant Society, Topeka; Virgil Huseman, rancher, Ellsworth; and Jeff Davidson, rancher, Eureka. We have a wonderful set of speakers and the facilities at Aldrich should suit our students and training quite well. Our alumni agreed that this 3-day course is great fun, most interesting, a good place to network, and packed with useful information that attendees can use. The schools are co-sponsored by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, KSU Extension, Kansas State Conservation Commission, and the Playa Lakes Joint Venture. Organized in 1991, KGLC is a non-profit organization with a vision to regenerate Kansas grazing lands. Visit our website as listed above.
