SUMMARY:Ranch Managers Guild: Grazing Systems in Practice
DESCRIPTION:This call will feature manager-led case studies on how grazing strategies are being applied and adapted to improve range health\, forage utilization\, and drought resilience. Managers will share the specific techniques they use and how their systems have evolved over time based on weather\, monitoring\, and operational goals.  \nDiscussion will include rest and recovery\, timing and intensity\, drought response\, and lessons learned from what’s worked (and what hasn’t).  \nParticipation is reserved for active members of the Ranch Managers Guild.

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:Field Day: Water\, Conservation\, and Drought Resiliency at Mountain Island Ranch
DESCRIPTION:This Field Tour is now full. Please check our online calendar for future field tours. Thank you! \nMountain Island Ranch is nestled in the red rock canyons and soaring mesas of the Dolores Triangle. It is one of the most inspiring examples of conservation on private land in western Colorado. However\, despite decades of careful land management and large-scale restoration\, the ranch faces an existential water crisis due to the ongoing mega-drought and aridification in the Colorado River basin. \nJoin WLA at Mountain Island Ranch to discuss the work Mary Conover and Kenyon Fields have done to improve the hydrologic function of the land by slowing water through nature-based projects that utilize natural processes. We will discuss the benefits of these projects\, as well as their limitations\, especially when the precipitation does not appear. In the worst year of drought in living memory\, these projects are up against their limitations to be effective\, and landowners\, water managers\, and policy makers are struggling to find solutions to these intractable problems. We will focus on how landowners such as Conover and Fields deal with these problems\, what policy supports are needed for them to weather these historically difficult years\, and what landowners across the Colorado River Basin are going to have to do to prepare for unforeseeable consequences of drought.

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.
