Join the Carbon Ranch Initiative team and Reunity Resources to learn how composting transforms waste into a valuable soil amendment! We'll discuss how diverting organic waste from landfills to make compost plays a role in mitigating climate change, and improving nutrient and water cycles.
Quivira and Seven Oaks Ranch are excited to provide a multi-day workshop to learn about organic amendments, soil health, and wildlife habitat. June 16-19, we will learn how to make and use biochar, hear about pollinators, and enjoy a star party on a dark skies ranch in Ozona TX. We encourage women and young people to attend to build networking and capacity for regenerative rangeland stewardship.
Join us in Ocate, NM and learn both how to produce compost, then about organic amendment application for rangeland soil health. Experts from Reunity Resources will demonstrate the Aerated Static Pile (ASP) composting system. ASP is a no-turn process that uses the naturally occurring microbial population in the feedstocks along with the appropriate oxygen supply and moisture to rapidly mature and age the organic waste into a valuable soil amendment. ASP is a useful method for agriculture producers or rural area residents who want to dispose of organic waste without taking it to the landfill. In addition, participants will learn about compost & biochar applications on rangelands as well as a couple soil health field monitoring techniques. Quivira Coalition staff will share preliminary results from case studies of compost, biochar and bale grazing applied at other ranches.

Participants will learn general principles of composting, uses of compost in agricultural systems, and will learn how to set up an ASP on site from expert composters from Reunity Resources.
Are you interested in revolutionizing beef production at the ground level? The Quivira Coalition's Carbon Ranch Initiative team invites you to the heart of West Texas for an opportunity to improve rangeland soil health using compost, biochar and hay bale applications.
Join us on March 17 and 18 in this immersive two-day series, set in the stunning landscape of Marfa and Fort Davis, TX. Participants will gain hands-on expertise applying compost, biochar, and hay bales to rangeland soils and learn how to monitor the transformative impacts of these applications on water retention, erosion control, and grass production.
