New Mexico Interagency Rangeland Monitoring Handbook

The intent of this interagency monitoring handbook is to provide scientifically based training for ranchers on fundamentals of monitoring rangelands so they can develop a voluntary program to monitor the rangeland resources associated with their operation.  The rancher monitoring is not intended to replace the monitoring responsibilities of the land management agencies but rather compliment agency efforts.
