Regional Resilience: Advancing Land Stewardship Through Prescribed Grazing
Join Grazing School of the West & White Buffalo Land Trust for this regionally-focused field lab designed for graziers, land managers and owners, agriculturalists, conservationists, and fire professionals seeking practical tools and strategies to integrate livestock grazing into agricultural and fire-adapted landscapes. Over four days, participants will delve into grazing techniques tailored to diverse regional ecological contexts, including chaparral, grasslands, orchards and vineyards, while addressing key goals such as fire readiness, climate change mitigation, watershed management, soil health, and biodiversity enhancement.
Through a combination of field demonstrations, classroom sessions, and collaborative learning, this intensive equips participants with the tools to make grazing a cornerstone of effective landscape stewardship, emphasizing a resilient ecosystem, reduced wildfire risk, and economic opportunities.
