A new publication from the USDA’s Rocky Mountain Research Station tracks changes to pinyon and juniper woodlands over 20,000 years. Researchers say the woodlands have always responded to changes in climate, but human development, more severe drought, and larger wildfires are showing their impacts. Plus, the introduction of a new dino at Dinosaur National Monument, and Public Lands Corner explores a heat-map that shows recreational use patterns on public lands near Moab – and the rest of the world.
