Max C. Fleischmann College of Agriculture. Renewable Natural Resources Division.

The records in this collection were primarily created by John L. Artz, Extension Range Specialist in the Renewable Natural Resources Division, 1966-1985, and Associate Director of the Cooperative Extension Service, 1982-1984. Artz was closely involved with the public land grazing issues as a consultant, educator, and mediator. He helped organize, and in 1978 chaired, the Western Universities Public Rangeland Coordinating Committee, a coalition of range specialist from the western land grant colleges that offered information and recommendations toward the resolution of these issues. Because of his focus on rangelands, Artz was also involved as a member of the range inventory standardization, and the wild horse and burro research, committees.
