The Politics of Managing Livestock on Public Lands

Don Oman, a 35-year veteran of the U.S. Forest Service explains how political pressure initiated by ranchers leads to environmentally harmful management of livestock grazing on federal public lands.
Don Oman was raised on a Montana farm and went on to earn his bachelor's degree in forest management from the University of Montana. In 1986, after twenty-three years with the US Forest Service, he became district ranger on the Twin Falls Ranger District (Sawtooth National Forest, ID) where he found severe environmental damage caused by livestock. During his ten years on the district, Mr. Oman came to national attention because of conflicts with ranchers over the management of their cattle under his jurisdiction.
This video is an excerpt from a much longer interview with Oman contained in WESTERN TURF WARS: THE POLITICS OF PUBLIC LANDS RANCHING. See http://westernturfwars.com for details.
