webinar: regenerative riparian grazing with tony malmberg

Cost: free

From Ridgetop to River, Headwaters to Mouth the water cycle begins where the raindrop hits the earth. In the grasslands of the world the managers job is to slow the flow. Get the raindrop into the soil mantle, grow more forage, recharge springs and aquifers, and hot season flow of rivers. Healing the river begins at the green line, width/depth ratio, bed elevation, vegetation and woody species. Vegetation provides habitat for fish diets and as sinuosity evolves, we see pools and riffles develop providing for fish passage, refuge, and spawning. Rivers connected to the flood plains filter high flow waters and provide lateral bank storage increasing production and are drought resistant. Grazing provides a critical and necessary tool to sustain rivers, with attention to early spring grazing and fall rest being pillars to the grazing plan.
