Northeastern Nevada’s Elko County has been torn apart
by conflict between ranchers and the Forest Service (HCN,
10/30/95). But there are efforts under way to create some common
ground by weaving together environmental values and sustainable
grazing practices. The Great Basin College in Elko wants to be part
of that change. During the Cowboy Poetry Gathering, which brings
thousands of visitors to Elko this month, the college is sponsoring
a workshop with Dan Dagget, author of Beyond the Rangeland
Conflict: Toward a West that Works, and members of a holistic
resource management team from the local Cottonwood Ranch in
Jarbidge, Nev., including team-building facilitators Tommie Martin
and Dennis Moroney. The workshop, Beyond the Rangeland Conflict:
The Future of the West, will be held Jan. 31, at 2 p.m., in room
GTA 130 at Great Basin College in Elko. Call 702/753-2231 or
702/753-2301.
