Expert Response
Hi Jaxon, I am a horticulturalist who works with farmers. While some of the work I do focuses on soil conservation, I do not consider myself a conservation scientist. I suggest you reach out to one of my colleagues in the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences: https://fwcs.oregonstate.edu/ (for a list of faculty: https://fwcs.oregonstate.edu/fisheries-and-wildlife/directory/faculty).
