Adapting With Virtual Fencing: Managing for wildlife and healthy grasslands in the Northern Great Plains part 1
Virtual fencing is still a new and developing technology, but for many ranchers, it has transformed how they raise livestock while protecting and rejuvenating native grasslands and wildlife that rely on intact and healthy working lands.
Join Quivira Coalition and World Wildlife Fund for a two-part webinar series on virtual fencing!
May 12: Join Andrew Jakes, a senior research scientist with the Wyoming Migration Initiative and Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, and rancher Leo Barthelmess to learn about the connections between sustainable wildlife habitats and virtual fencing ranch management.
May 19: Interested in virtual fencing but don’t know which technology makes the most sense for your operation? Ask questions and hear from a panel of ranchers on different technologies available and what might be a best fit for you.*
*Quivira Coalition and the Sustainable Ranching Initiative are not endorsing any specific technology. This is an educational opportunity to learn what technologies are available to consumers.
You’ll learn about how virtual fencing has been a major innovation for both conservation and flexible livestock management in the Northern Great Plains, and leave with practical, replicable action items for the lands you steward as a grazier.
