SUMMARY:Grazing on Challenging Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Every year, Badger Creek Ranch opens their gate to the public for an educational community field day. As part of this year’s Open Gate event, Quivira is excited to collaborate with Badger Creek, Grasslands LLC, and the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS), to bring our programming to the heart of the Rockies.\nBadger Creek is renowned for their success with prescribed grazing in Colorado’s Arkansas River Valley, and at this workshop, you will hear from local ranchers Chrissy McFarren (Badger Creek) and Jim Howell (Grasslands LLC), as well as Dixie Crowe (NRCS rangeland management specialist) about what is possible when it comes to managing your herd in riparian, high-elevation, and/or arid climates. After spending the morning learning about grazing your livestock in and around challenging environments and landscapes, stay for lunch, a tour of the Badger Creek property, and more family fun during the other Open Gate events!\nAttendees will learn how to navigate the terrain and technical challenges of riparian areas in the high-desert to achieve increased soil carbon and soil moisture, healthier pasture, healthier animals, and healthier riparian areas! Some techniques and tools we will be discussing include prescribed grazing, virtual fencing, and portable electric fencing. We will also learn how to apply for and receive funding through the NRCS.\nLunch provided.\nQuestions? Contact Nina at nina.katz@quiviracoalition.org\n
