Don’t miss NPSOT-Wilco’s chapter meeting on May 9, 2019, when our program topic is “Rangeland Ecology” with David Riley of Plateau Land & Wildlife Management.
Abstract As Aldo Leopold once said “The central thesis of game management is this: game can be restored by the creative use of the same tools which have heretofore destroyed it—axe, plow, cow, fire and gun…” Rangelands over time can be degraded due to overuse or misuse of natural resources and it can be a difficult task to return to its natural state. During this presentation I will discuss the 5 different management tools and how they can be utilized to restore native rangelands.
David is a 4th generation Texan who grew up around the Hill Country. His passion for wildlife led him to College Station to receive a B.S. in Wildlife Ecology and Management from Texas A&M University. David’s early career with Texas A&M Agrilife Extension/Research and Texas Parks & Wildlife Department fueled his passion for working with private landowners throughout the state, which eventually led him to Plateau Land & Wildlife. David has travelled and worked throughout the whole state of Texas and has an expansive knowledge of native Texas wildlife and wildlife management. He is credited as an Associate Wildlife Biologist from the National Wildlife Society. As a biologist with Plateau Land & Wildlife Management, David works closely with hundreds of landowners annually to ensure that their wildlife management needs are met.
NPSOT-Williamson County meetings are free and open to the public.
