Do you operate in an area with wolves or other large carnivores? Are you concerned about conflicts? Join for a day of conversations and learning alongside local livestock producers and agency representatives focused on applications of Range Riding and significant new cost sharing opportunities for the practice.  

Together with compensation, control, and collaboration, expanding access to range riding is an important piece of the puzzle for supporting resilient ranches, rural communities and connected landscapes.
