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.

The first-ever Northeast Oregon Rangeland Summit will be held virtually and in-person at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande on Thursday, April 3rd, 2025. The theme of the event is “Managing Working Lands in 2025: Learning from the past, leaning into the future.”

In Colorado, the Front Range can present unique fuel and weather conditions for wildfires. Combined with numerous wildland/urban interface and intermix settings, these conditions can be critical in wildfire management. Save the date for the Front Range Grassland Fire Workshop to increase your knowledge and understanding of the ecology, behavior, risks, and management of grassfire conditions on the Front Range! Hear speakers from both the Front Range and the Great Plains to discuss grassland fire ecology, history, current conditions, prescribed fire and management for urban, rural, and intermix areas. Full speaker schedule available soon!
