Working Lands Collaborative
The Working Lands Collaborative is a group of local landowners and agency partners committed to offering programs and resources on soil health and regenerative agriculture. Our goal is to bring subject matter experts and teachers into the community to grow our local knowledge base on next-level adaptive agricultural practices.
With a motto of “Growing Local Wisdom to Cultivate Resilient Futures,” the Collaborative hopes to encourage operators to take the next step themselves, and in time, become a resource for others as they take on new challenges.
Past Events
The first Working Lands Workshop (WLW) was held in 2022. Since that time, the Collaborative has targeted hosting one workshop per year. The Ranchers Night Out was started in 2023 and is typically held twice a year in different areas of the county.
