Energy development is one of the leading industries in North Dakota.
“Successful reclamations of lands used for energy development is critical as these lands are often key to the state’s leading industry, agriculture,” says Miranda Meehan, NDSU Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist. “The advancement of reclamation methods and strategies must continue for the sake of landowners, oil and gas industries, and the state.”
To aid that effort, NDSU Extension, Dickinson State University, the Society for Range Management, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality and BKS Environmental are hosting the North Dakota Reclamation Webinar Series.
Dave: Let me just ask you because everything is a technology-driven this time much more so because of the COVID protocols. How do you think it s been going so far? I know it s only been a week in but what do you think so far?
Sen. Wardner: Well, right now things are going really smooth and fantastic. Everybody s adjusting, they ve adjusted quickly and we re talking about first of all, our committee chairs and then our committee clerks. And then of course the IT staff from legislative council have done just an outstanding job of supporting us and making sure that we keep going. Actually we re getting used to it, I listened to the chairman and they say, well, are we ready for a testimony online? Sure. And so it s going smooth, better than anticipated.

MEDORA, N.D. - Big plans are ahead for Theodore Roosevelt National Park this year.
Long-awaited road repairs will begin to take shape. The $5.5 million Peaceful Valley Ranch restoration project is expected to be complete in the spring.
And the park will be working closely with the planned Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library as the project moves ahead. Library organizers in 2020 raised $100 million for construction, enabling the project to access a $50 million state operations endowment approved by the 2019 Legislature.
Last year was a different time for the park, starting when the coronavirus pandemic emerged in North Dakota in March. Visitation boomed, doubling over the same month in 2019, The Bismarck Tribune reported.
