This Island Cattle Ranching lesson plan also includes:
Is cattle ranching on Santa Rosa island viable or non-viable? Rather than focusing on the issues of the transition of Santa Rosa island from a privately owned island cattle ranch to a national park, class members are asked to consider if cattle ranching could have continued on the island without damaging the environment of the island.
