Paragraph
<p>Graduates of the rangeland ecology and management major are employed by both governmental agencies and private or nonprofit organizations. The program prepares graduates for U.S. civil service careers as range and soil conservationists. With a few additional courses, you can also meet civil service requirements for soil scientists and ecologists.</p>
<p>Civil service careers may involve working for the Bureau of Land Management, the Natural Resource Conservation Service or the Forest Service in a career focused on land management, conservation or land use policy. Conservation scientists generally are responsible for ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, working with citizens and local governments to develop land use plans, and safeguarding natural resources.</p>
<p>Increased risk of wildfire in the Western U.S. is likely to drive demand for these rangeland management careers in coming years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which also reported that c<span>onservation scientists and foresters </span>had a median annual salary of $63,750 in 2021.</p>
