Students will be working directly with and learning from leaders in the ranching industry as well as highly respected experts in the fields of range management, soil science, wildlife management, prescribed burning, etc. Check out the “Our Team” page to meet the instructors.

Regardless of what your future holds for you, you will benefit from the education, training, and experience you receive and the skills you will develop at Youth Range Workshop. No matter where you go to college or what your major is, what career you choose, or where you live, the information you are exposed to and the lessons learned at YRW can be applied to your everyday life.

Long-lasting friendships and networks with other students as well as professionals and educators will be among the best things that will be taken away from YRW.

The majority of each day will be in the field on ranches and rangelands actively involved in hands-on learning and training experiences related to range management, wildlife habitat management, grazing management, fire ecology and prescribed burning, soil science and soil health, plant identification and plant collection, brush control, rainfall effectiveness and the water cycle, carbon cycle relationships, and much more. Leadership skill development and the opportunity to participate in public speaking are among the most valued activities.
