Public-land grazing is more than turning cattle loose.
Permittees check water, repair fences, monitor vegetation, treat livestock and move cattle away from sensitive areas, sometimes visiting allotments several times each week.

At 91, Jim Willadsen has watched nearly a century of change on Pole Mountain.
His advice: “Learn how to love it and take care of it and pass it on to somebody else. Leave it the way you found it. And maybe make an improvement.”

Wildfires don’t stop at jurisdictional boundaries.
At the Rocky Mountain Engine Academy, firefighters train with partners before the call comes, building the relationships and skills needed for a safe, fast, coordinated wildfire response. fs.usda.gov/about-agency/fea…
