Join us for a Regenerative Agriculture Workshop dedicated to holistic planned grazing techniques and ecological monitoring.
HOLISTIC PLANNED GRAZING
TANGIBLE OUTCOMES:
Manage livestock grazing so that animals stay healthy and productive while increasing the biological capital that will sustain your livelihood for generations to come. Good grazing increases plant density and biodiversity, thereby eliminating the need for costly inputs.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Develop a grazing plan for your land base that takes into account the many variables that are commonly left out of grazing planning, such as; erratic weather, different types or classes of livestock, grazing through croplands, orchards, vineyards, wildlife needs, and family needs (such as holidays), and much more.
HOLISTIC ECOLOGICAL MONITORING
When you are adept at using Holistic Management to diagnose problems, you will uncover the causes of deviation from a management plan and find the reasons behind distortions in the functioning of the ecosystem (increased floods, droughts, outbreaks of problem plants and insects, disease, etc.). In principle, diagnosis using Holistic Management rests on knowing the various tools’ effects on the four ecosystem processes.
TANGIBLE OUTCOMES:
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.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Gain experience in the field observing signs of change. Learn how to complete Holistic Ecological Monitoring and become proficient enough to monitor your own land. Uncover the causes of the deviations from a plan, find the reasons behind distortions in the functioning of the ecosystem, and create strategies to get back on track.
Complete this workshop (2 courses) and Holistic Financial Planning and Holistic Land Planning (4 courses total) to become qualified as an Accredited Professional.
SCHEDULE Class begins 1:00 PM Monday July 22 and will go till Friday 4:00 PM July 26, 2024. Saturday is a bonus day to spend more time on the land.
Lunch is included Monday through Friday. We will plan optional social time and dinner at least twice. Reasonable Accommodations are available on-site.
