UNION — Women ranchers from Baker, Union and Wallowa counties are invited to gather Oct. 5 in Union for a day of community building and hands-on learning, according to a press release.
The gathering, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is the second in a series of events aimed to give women in ranching additional tools to build ranch resilience through regenerative practices. Participants will see how tools for working within local ecosystem processes are applied, including on-ranch soil monitoring and testing, forage evaluation and other methods to inform decision-making.
Chris Schactschneider, Livestock and Range Extension coordinator of Oregon State University, will share his work on utilizing livestock to achieve management or ecological goals.
Hosted by American Farmland Trust, Northeastern Oregon Economic Development District and other partners, the gathering is free, lunch is provided and travel and child-care stipends are available.
