Description:
In 2020, the University of Nebraska’s Barta Brothers Ranch launched a collaborative
adaptive management (CAM) project to address risks and uncertainties related to grassland
management in the Sandhills. This project focuses on evaluating stakeholder-designed
management plans in a collaborative research setting. This emphasis on co-producing
science ensures CAM reflects real-world ranching conditions of the Sandhills and the
north-central Great Plains.
