State Rangeland & Soils CDEs
The State Rangeland and Soils CDEs are held annually in the fall. The events are coordinated with the help of the Natural Resource Conversation Service, the Idaho Soil and Water Conservation Commission, the University of Idaho Plant, Soil and Entomological Sciences and Rangeland Ecology and Management Departments, and the Idaho Rangeland Resources Commission. The Rangeland CDE is open to all interested chapters and members. The Soils CDE is limited to those chapters who successfully qualify at their regional event.
