Dreaming of sheep mowing your lawn for you? Or goats tackling that blackberry bramble you can no longer see over? Wondering about how to restore a camas meadow AND produce a yield? Through the thoughtful management of grazers, you can reduce wildfire risk, improve pasture and rangelands, and restore many native habitats. 

Join Lost Valley Education Center in hosting Drew Thomas of Calico Creek Grazing Collective and the Center for Rural Livelihoods for a live workshop to introduce you to the who, what, why, and how of Rx grazing while observing a flock at work. 

Participants will leave with an inspired mind and an understanding of the questions to ask when determining where to graze, which livestock, how many, what seasons, and for how long.

For questions, please contact Lost Valley or drew@rurallivelihoods.org
