SUMMARY:Recreation Management for Working Lands
DESCRIPTION:Recreation is growing across the West\, bringing both new opportunities and new pressures for working lands. Join Western Landowners Alliance on July 16 at noon MT for a practical conversation about recreation management and a new partnership between WLA and Infinite Outdoors. Together\, WLA and Infinite Outdoors are exploring how landowners can create well-managed recreation access that supports land stewardship\, strengthens rural economies\, and keeps landowner needs at the center. \nThis webinar will feature John Kelly of Infinite Outdoors\, Kelsee Taylor\, WLA’s Conservation Finance Director\, and a WLA member and participating Infinite Outdoors landowner. Speakers will discuss key questions landowners should ask when entering a recreation partnership or considering adding recreation as an income stream for their property. They’ll also dive into how the partnership between WLA and Infinite Outdoors works\, what it offers to landowners\, and how thoughtful recreation access can help keep working lands whole\, healthy\, and productive for people\, wildlife\, and future generations.

SUMMARY:Public Lands Grazing Reform: What’s Changing and Why It Matters for the West
DESCRIPTION:The 1934 Taylor Grazing Act was designed to support and manage domestic livestock production on public lands in a manner that sustains the land’s productive capacity and natural resource values. Since that time\, rangeland science and management have continued to evolve and improve. There is increasing recognition that in addition to meeting human resource needs and supporting rural livelihoods\, well-managed grazing plays an important role in sustaining grassland ecosystems\, open space and wildlife habitat. In many places around the West\, conflicts over grazing management are giving way to greater collaboration and partnership.   \nGrazing polices need to evolve\, too. The proposed new grazing rules would constitute the most significant change in federal grazing policy in decades.   \nAs a non-partisan\, landowner-led organization dedicated to conserving and caring for working lands for the benefit of people and wildlife\, WLA is hosting this webinar to share perspectives and insights among federal officials\, ranchers\, conservationists\, sportsmen\, etc. so everyone can better understand the rule and provide substantive comments to help inform the rule and implementation.  \nJoin us for an engaging conversation about these policy developments with: \n\nBrenda Younkin – Department of Interior Deputy Assistant Secretary\, Lands and Minerals\nGilbert Jackson – United States Forest Service Rangeland Management Program Manager\nLesli Allison – CEO\, Western Landowners Alliance\nLiz Munn – Resilient Public Lands Strategy Director\, The Nature Conservancy Nevada\nDavid Willms – Associate Vice President\, Public Lands\, National Wildlife Federation\nRobbie LeValley – Colorado Permittee\, Public Lands Council\nDuane Coombs – Nevada Permittee\nMarissa Taylor – Wyoming Permittee\n\nRegister today to join the discussion.

SUMMARY:Grassland CRP Informational Webinar
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nLease your land for habitat with Grassland CRP\, enrollment open through May 29th. \nThe USDA has opened enrollment for the Grassland Conservation Reserve Program (Grassland CRP)\, offering landowners an opportunity to receive annual payments for maintaining and improving working grasslands. Unlike traditional CRP\, Grassland CRP functions more like a habitat lease. Producers can graze and hay while maintaining grassland habitat for wildlife. The program can help generate supplemental income while supporting both agricultural productivity and conservation\, particularly for rangeland operations. \nWe’re hosting a webinar to walk through theprogram and how to apply\, rental rates\, and perspectives from agency staff and landowners who have experience in the program.

SUMMARY:NRCS Regenerative Pilot Program: Making It Work for Your Operation
DESCRIPTION:Western Landowners Alliance is hosting an upcoming webinar on the USDA NRCS Regenerative Agriculture Pilot Program and what it means for producers across the West. The webinar will provide an overview of NRCS’s new regenerative pilot effort\, which is designed to support producers in adopting conservation practices that improve soil health\, water quality\, and overall working lands resilience. The program builds on existing NRCS tools and programs\, such as conservation planning and financial assistance\, to better support whole-farm\, systems-based approaches to management. \nParticipants will hear directly from NRCS leadership\, including Eric McTaggart\, National Regenerative Pilot Coordinator\, who brings extensive experience in conservation planning and program delivery\, as well as Jackie Byam\, Wyoming State Conservationist\, and Andi Neugebauer-Bailey\, Wyoming State Resource Conservationist. Together\, they will share insights into how the pilot is being implemented\, how it fits within existing NRCS programs\, and what producers can expect when engaging with the effort. \nThe webinar will also feature producers with firsthand experience implementing conservation practices\, offering practical\, on-the-ground perspectives about what works\, what challenges to expect\, and how these practices can benefit agricultural operations in western landscapes.

SUMMARY:The Economics and Natural Resource Benefits of Virtual Fencing in the Western US
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar produced by the United States Department of Agriculture’s research lab at the Jornada Experimental Range\, researchers will share insights from producer-focused surveys\, adoption studies\, and economic modeling of VF systems in the Southwest and Southern Plains. Speakers will discuss how ranch size\, herd size\, and producer preferences—such as precision grazing\, herd tracking\, and fencing alternatives—shape adoption decisions. The presentation will highlight the costs and benefits of VF relative to traditional fencing\, emphasizing practical break-even thresholds and producer tradeoffs. Speakers will also explore how VF can serve as a natural resource management tool in ecologically sensitive areas. Drawing on cattle–elk conflict simulation and AI decision-support systems\, researchers will demonstrate how VF can be paired with satellite imagery\, drone flights\, and AI grazing models to improve conservation outcomes.

SUMMARY:EQIP Bridge Loan Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Farmers\, ranchers\, and conservation partners: join Food System 6 on March 17 for a webinar on the 0% EQIP Bridge Loan Program. \nMany farmers want to implement conservation practices through USDA’s EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program)\, but there’s a major barrier: producers typically have to pay upfront for the work and wait months for reimbursement. \nThe EQIP Bridge Loan Program helps solve that problem. \nFood System 6 provides 0% bridge loans so producers can cover upfront project costs and then repay the loan once their EQIP reimbursement arrives. \nIn this webinar we’ll cover: \n• How the program works• Who is eligible• How applications are evaluated• What documents you’ll need• Live Q&A \nWho should attend: Farmers\, ranchers\, landowners\, and organizations supporting producers in eligible states who are implementing EQIP-funded conservation projects. \n Tuesday\, March 17Morning session: 7:30 AM MTEvening session: 6:30 PM MT \n Register here:https://lnkd.in/g5RAU7-3 \nThe program is run by Food System 6 and sponsored by the SHOT Fund.

SUMMARY:Passing the Reins: A Succession Planning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:With more ranchers reaching retirement age\, the need for thoughtful succession planning is becoming increasingly important. Simultaneously\, the next generation of agrarians is seeking opportunities to become future land stewards. Passing the Reins: A Succession Planning Workshop is designed to spark meaningful conversations\, share examples of successful transitions\, and build a supportive community for both new agrarians and seasoned farmers and ranchers. \nThe workshop will dive into the legal side of succession as well as the lesser-discussed interpersonal dynamics that can make the process so challenging. \n• A panel discussion of farmers and ranchers who have creatively and successfully navigated succession will offer their perspectives\n• Break-out sessions for both experienced and beginning agrarians will give participants an opportunity to learn from their peers.\n• Those who attend the workshop will leave with a toolkit for knowing what questions to ask as they start their succession planning journey. \nCoffee\, light snacks\, and lunch will be provided. Fee for the workshop is on a sliding scale\, $0-100. Additional donations are also appreciated. \nLodging: Attendees can reserve hotel rooms for March 15-16 at the Sleep Inn & Suites Miles City until February 16\, 2026.
