Climate-Smart Grazing Management Planning Training for Conservation Planners

Ranchers and dairy operators seek climate-smart technical assistance related to grazing management, soil health management, livestock health, biodiversity, and enhanced resilience and viability on North Coast rangelands. Join the North Coast Soil Hub for a training opportunity for technical assistance providers to build skills and knowledge related to adaptive rangeland management in order to better serve our local agricultural communities.

In the North Coast, carbon farm plans have been developed for 50 ranches and dairies. As the pace and scale of carbon farm planning increases, there is a need to build local capacity to develop grazing management components of ranch and dairy carbon farm plans that meet producer needs. Supported by the USDA-NRCS Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative, RCDs in the North Coast Soil Hub are offering this opportunity as part of a grazing management training series aimed at improving the ability of conservation planners to develop grazing management recommendations within carbon farm plans and increasing knowledge and familiarity of current grazing management strategies.

Who should register: Carbon farm planners and other technical assistance providers who would like to
increase their knowledge of climate-smart grazing management strategies and resource assessment tools.
Priority registration will be given to employees of Resource Conservation Districts, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, University of California Cooperative Extension, and Point Blue Conservation Science.
