Demonstrate efficacy of utilizing the proven technology of motion activated devices that play digital recordings of sound as a deterrent to wildlife to also apply to brown bears on the Kenai Peninsula. The devices utilize the sound of human shouting to enhance the deterrent of shock from an existing electric fence. The intent is to have brown bears associating the human voice with pain and shock from electric fencing to cause otherwise conditioned bears to fee at the sound of shouting alone.

The project will demonstrate and quantify the effectiveness of combining nutrient management practices and irrigation water management practices with a denitrifying woodchip bioreactor to minimize and trap nutrient losses from agricultural fields. Agricultural nitrate pollution is a major concern in Morro
Bay and a growing concern throughout California. A denitrifying woodchip bioreactor is proven technology that has yet to achieve widespread use in California. By incorporating nutrient and irrigation water management practices, farmers will reduce the amount of nutrient loss from their fields. By treating tile water with a denitrifying woodchip bioreactor, farmers will further reduce the nitrate loading before discharging to the environment or re-using the water for irrigation.

A New Management System for Drought Resilience on Northern Rockies Rangelands will create a transferable model of livestock management that maximizes drought resilience and range health in the Northern Rockies. In addition to soil and drought concerns, the project will address numerous ecological and social issues associated with ranching and grazing in the Northern Rockies region. The proposed project applies innovative concepts such as "rodearing" - a management-intensive grazing technology, together with other Holistic Management elements to mitigate the impacts of drought and other relevant agriculture concerns in the Northern Rockies.

This project will establish specific, detailed recommendations regarding the maintenance of populations of wild and managed pollinators that contribute significantly to the economic wellbeing
of Rhode Island agriculture. Our provisional list of target species includes apples, peaches, other orchard crops, blueberries, cranberries and vine crops. In collaboration with state-based experts and producers, we will identify key landscape and site features that
support managed and wild pollinator populations (e.g., areas of bare soil for digger bees, dead wood for carpenter bees), and make recommendations for producers and growers about habitat management activities the can use to support or enhance populations of these beneficial insects.
