		<description><![CDATA[USDA FSA has a map of the Primary Nesting Season (PNS). PNS is the period of high nesting activity of grassland birds, and managed haying and grazing is prohibited during this time frame. Notice how much the dates and length of the PNS varies even among adjacent states.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=practicalconservation.org&amp;blog=3470355&amp;post=53&amp;subd=practicalconservation&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Terra has a a 3-part video &#8211; Bison Haze &#8211; about the current bison-cattle conflict near Yellowstone Nat&#8217;l Park. These online videos give even-handed treatment to the different interests (ranchers, tribes and conservationists) with a stake in the conflict. This should be a great discussion starter for my class next spring.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=practicalconservation.org&amp;blog=3470355&amp;post=35&amp;subd=practicalconservation&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
