Due to the uncertainty of the weather and the potential for wet soil conditions that will prohibit vehicular travel, cancellation and rescheduling of the monitoring is possible. Please contact Stephen Cassady (AZ Game & Fish Department) at 928-214-1270 or via email (SCassady@azgfd.gov) the day before the first scheduled monitoring date to confirm dates and times.
The Forage Resource Study Group was one of the first monitoring group formed in the early 1990s to study the impact and presence of antelope, elk, and other wildlife on the ranches. It’s changed a little bit since its inception, but the data is fairly consistent and is still used to promote a balance in managing for wildlife and livestock. It’d be great to have you out on one of the field days!
