Carbon Farm Planning & Implementation
This land was purchased in 2016. Since then, the new owners have established milk and animal production. The owners want to create an educational farm that supports the community and restores the land. A LandSmart Range plan was created to help achieve these goals. Concerns include water scarcity and fire risk. Planned conservation activities include water budgeting; brush management for forage quality and fuels reduction; and prescribed grazing.
