SUMMARY:Ranch Managers Guild: Wildfire Preparedness on Working Lands
DESCRIPTION: This call will feature manager-led case studies on how ranches are preparing for and responding to wildfire risk. Managers will share practical approaches to reducing fuel loads\, building resilience into their operations\, and planning for fire before it happens. \nExamples may include targeted grazing to manage fine fuels\, coordination with neighbors and agencies\, and on-the-ground preparedness strategies for protecting infrastructure\, livestock\, and rangeland. \nParticipation is reserved for active members of the Ranch Managers Guild. Not signed up yet? You can sign up here today.

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.
