A Joint Publication from Earth Works Institute, The Quivira Coalition and the Rio Puerco Management Committee.
Fourth Edition – April 2009. This field guide is an introduction to grazing management designed to help landowners, contractors, and agency personnel make better grassland management decisions. Grazing can have a deleterious effect on water quality, if it is not managed well. Improved management decisions will increase vegetative cover, control erosion, and improve animal production.
Quivira’s annual publication started out as a printed newsletter and has served as a source for on-the-ground rangeland science, a place for stories and reflections from our community, and a resource on implementation of regenerative agriculture on working lands since the start of the organization. It has since morphed into a high-quality, professionally-designed and printed literary magazine that showcases poetry, written reflections, photography, artwork, and science writing that comes from those who are working or stewarding the land; very few of the contributors are professional writers, highlighting the lived experiences that they bring.
