Research summary
AI-generated

Brooke McWherter studies how people—farmers, ranchers, and rural communities—interact with conservation and land management programs, using surveys, interviews, and case studies. Their work spans topics like grassland and grazing management, human tolerance of wildlife (such as black vultures), and the design of incentive-based conservation payment programs. Much of the research examines the relationships between scientists, policymakers, and agricultural producers, and how knowledge and values are shared or negotiated among them.
