ONLINE CLASS - Holistic Land Planning (3 week series)
Holistic land planning is one of the least understood yet most important aspects of Holistic Management. Allan Savory once said, “if you go home and immediately build a fence, then you haven’t understood me.”
Understanding the long-term goals of a land base and anticipating long—and short-term infrastructure and improvement plans requires many factors, including money, time, timing, and resources, to come together in a way that creates the highest impact on our land, livestock, livelihood, and quality of life.
ONLINE CLASS - Holistic planned Grazing (4 class series)
Holistic planned grazing caters to many variables commonly left out of grazing planning, such as erratic weather, wildlife needs, and time with family. Holistic Planned Grazing uses concepts that mimic nature to reduce the need for costly inputs and can increase plant biodiversity and density.
You will learn the step-by-step process using the aide memoire to plan your grazing to enhance your environment, financial well-being, and quality of life.
ONLINE CLASS - ecological Monitoring (3 class series)
Monitoring is a key skill for ensuring that your decisions have regenerative outcomes on the land. Monitoring skills are used informally every day and more formally every year to track the progress of your land base across ecosystem processes.
Holistic Ecological Monitoring enables you to gather relevant information to keep your management on track and to see trends in your Ecological Health Index over time. Learning to monitor the land for the earliest signs of change enables you to quickly adapt your management to move toward your desired future resource base.
WEBINAR || Social Justice & regenerative agriculture - Building resilience through diversity
Join us for a vital conversation on the relationship between social justice and regenerative agriculture in our upcoming community webinar. This discussion will dive deep into how embracing diversity—across age, race, gender, sexuality, and socioeconomic background—can strengthen the resilience of our land management systems. Diversity is key to stability in natural systems, and this truth applies just as much to our human communities. However, when we look at the current cohort of land managers, it is evident that much more work is needed to ensure our communities reflect the diversity necessary for rue resilience. This webinar will feature a powerful story from one ranch where a thoughtful study of its historical roots led to pathways for healing, reconciliation, and greater inclusivity in their land stewardship practices.
