Guide to Co-Developing Drought Preparation Plans for Livestock Grazing on Southwest National Forests

Abstract

This Guide is one output of a long-term project organized by researchers from the University of Arizona, which intended to address drought concerns for livestock grazing in the Southwestern United States. At an initial workshop held in 2013, local stakeholders identified the lack of flexibility regarding the administration of public land grazing as a challenge to managing and becoming prepared for drought.
