Practical Approaches to Building Soil Health on Rangelands
Perryton, TX Perryton, TXRanchers on unirrigated pastures have traditionally had limited options for large-scale tools that affect soil health. Emerging research suggests that using materials like compost and biochar (a charcoal-like substance made from waste wood) may be as effective for holding soil moisture and protecting the surface from erosion as bale grazing is known to be. However, we know that not every area responds the same way to management practices. Join us to be part of setting up a new demonstration site at a ranch owned by a New Agrarian Program alum in the Texas panhandle to compare these practices side-by-side.
Blackfeet Retreat
Kwataqnuk Resort & Casino U.S. 93, Polson, MT, United StatesThe idea for the Rooted in the Land program emerged from our initial conversations with a small group of Indigenous women ranchers. They brought to light their communities’ urgent needs and, most importantly, asked, “What is Women In Ranching going to do about it?”
Acknowledging the historical and systemic inequities faced by Indigenous land stewards, and recognizing that true leadership must come from within the community, the program was realized in 2023 when Erin Thomas of the Navajo Nation and Tiffany St. Goddard of the Blackfeet Nation answered the call as co-leaders.
While Women In Ranching provides support, it is Erin and Tiffany’s leadership that listens to their communities, drives the initiative, and organizes gatherings like this one.
