Location: Oregon Convention Center, D139-140, OCC

Oral Presentation

This session brings together the growing number of researchers who are studying or plan to study pollinators in grazing lands. Rangelands and pastures, at the interface of agricultural and natural lands, pose exciting research and conservation opportunities. The session will highlight current research and emerging technologies, while fostering new connections.
