WESTERN GRAZING

Grazing west of the 100th Meridian is just different.
Drought, short growing seasons, Pacific storms, steep canyons, high altitudes, increasing wildfire, unique invasive species, public lands and more all make grazing in the West a particular kind of challenging. That's why we're building the West-wide Grazing Lands Coalition (WestGLC), to support peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and help put science and expertise into practice on more acres of grazing land around the West than ever before.
CalGLC
CALIFORNIA
Together with the California Rangeland Conservation Coalition, we've launched the California Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative, bringing science and practice together to improve outcomes in the Golden State.
WYGLC
WYOMING
Together with the Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts, we've launched WYGLC to connect and serve the amazing grass farmers of the Cowboy State.
UtahGLC
UTAH
Working Lands Conservation is leading the charge to get the Beehive State's grazing lands coalition up and running. We're partnering with them to share information, resources and important stories about good grazing with our network.
MTGLCI
MONTANA
Graziers know, the greatest treasure in the Treasure State is all that grass. We're helping Montana producers access the latest information, share knowledge with peers, and bring funding home to make turning that grass into food and fiber that much better for the land and ranch bottom lines.
9th National Grazing Lands Conference
December 4-6th, 2024, Tucson, AZ
9NGLC – Expanding Grazing Horizons – serves as a venue for experts and practitioners in the field of grazing management to share innovative ideas and best practices; connect and renew bonds with producers, partners, and other stakeholders across the nation; and progress toward the common goal of caring for and sustaining grazing lands. We'll be there, of course, and hope to see you there!
