Regenerative Ranching to Restore Biodiversity

REGENERATIVE RANCHING TO RESTORE BIODIVERSITY
Bryan, TX | Nov 15 | 8am-4pm

Join Small Producers Initiative (SPI), the Audubon Society and our farm hosts, the Denham Family, to learn about programs and strategies designed specifically to increase biodiversity — all with farmers whose mission is to bring back "the wild" in their operations.

Regenerative land stewardship not only helps improve on-farm productivity and profitability, it regenerates natural ecosystems, improving the quantity and diversity of flora and fauna both above and below ground. This creates a win-win for agriculturalists and environmentalists.

This experiential field day will include a ranch tour, demos, hands-on activities.

Learn How To:

• An overview of regenerative agriculture principles
• Strategies for revitalizing the microbiome and soil health
• Conservation efforts to protect reptiles and amphibians
• How birds can be indicators of ecosystem health
• The use of guardian animals in ranching

Cost: $20

Lunch Provided
