External Resources
USDA agency involved with the conservation, improvement, and sustainability of U.S. natural resources and environment. Programs include the national soil survey, and various wetlands, water quality, forest , resource and grazing land conservation.
The written works of one of the most forward-thinking conservationists of the 20th century. Searchable by title, author, and illustration. Provided by University of Wisconsin.
This website is being built by The Rangelands Partnership as part of the Agriculture Network Information Center (AgNIC) in an effort to make resources, tools, and information on agriculture across the world available on the web.
WSS provides soil data and information produced by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. It provides access to the largest natural resource information system in the world. NRCS has soil maps and data available online for more than 95 percent of the nation’s counties and anticipates having 100 percent in the near future. The site is updated and maintained online as the single authoritative source of soil survey information.
This website is designed for those interested in or curious about the diverse lands and cultures of rangelands to go on a virtual adventure in search of the connections that bring these landscapes together.
