What role can LRCD play in assisting the City of Laramie with development plans for the Monolith Ranch?
(75 words) Larry C. Munn (Rural): The LRCD can, in coordination with the Natural Resource Conservation Service and the UW College of Agriculture, provide to the City of Laramie expertise in water quality and rangeland management issues to help with management of the Monolith Ranch. I have personally been to the Monolith several times as part of UW outreach and I think the Monolith will be a major asset to the Laramie community in the future. Carl A. Shaffer (Urban): The LRCD can advise the City on appropriate species of plants for reclamation of the irrigated lands after the water is transferred for municipal use. The LRCD can also help them find the expertise to manage and monitor the resources they have. 3. What do you see as the major issues facing the LRCD in your term of office? (75 words) Larry C. Munn (Rural): The major challenge for the future is maintaining open space and preserving a healthy landscape for future generations. LRCD can help this effort through technical support
