SUMMARY:Rural Resilience- Ranch Water: Low-Tech\, High-Impact Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Join Ranchers Stewardship Alliance for the sixth year of the Rural Resilience Webinar Series\, where they’re growing their ranching and rural community’s financial\, ecological\, and social resilience with experienced speakers and actionable insights. \nThis free\, four-part series will tackle key topics designed to support ranchers and rural residents: \nFebruary 19 – Ranch Water: Low-Tech\, High-Impact Restoration \nSometimes the simplest solutions have the biggest impact. Paul Jones with Tomichi Creek Ecosystem Services will explore Low-Tech Process-Based Restoration\, a hands-on approach to rebuilding natural water systems. Learn how mimicking beaver dams can improve water retention\, restore riparian function\, and boost drought resilience using minimal materials and practical techniques that bring lasting benefits to your land and livestock. \nMore about Paul: He started his career with the Colorado Division of Wildlife in July 1992 as a District Wildlife Manager (Game Warden).  His first District the Littleton District\, where he worked until the spring of 1995\, when he transferred to the Gunnison East District.  There as part of his biological duties\, he was assigned as the CDOW representative on the Gunnison Sage Grouse Working Group\, the first collaborative sage-grouse working group in the west.  In 2001\, he lateraled into the Habitat Biologist Position for Area 16\, which morphed into the Conservation Biologist position when the Habitat Section ceased to exist.  In that role\, he negotiated and acquired eight CDOW conservation easements\, five State Wildlife Areas\, and assisted with multiple third-party conservation easements permanently protecting over 15\,000 acres of important habitat for the Gunnison sage-grouse in the Gunnison and North Fork Basins.  He also helped develop the template language for the umbrella Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA) for the Gunnison sage-grouse\, which helped protect habitat for the species on 40 private ranches.   In 2006\, took the Aquatic Conservation Biologist position for the Southwest Region.  In that position\, he worked with the Three Species (round tail chub flannel mouth and bluehead suckers)\, Rio Grande sucker and chub\, and boreal toads until he retired In 2018.   Since that time\, he has started his own consulting company\, Tomich Creek Ecosystem Services\, and focuses his work on wet meadow restoration\, and those gullied systems that Dave Rosgen once said were too flashy to restore. \nEach session includes a 60-minute presentation followed by a 30-minute Q&A\, allowing you to engage directly with Ranchers Stewardship Alliances expert speakers. \nCost: FREE! \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain practical knowledge and connect with others dedicated to building resilient ranching and rural communities. \nPre-registration is required—Zoom link will be emailed upon registration. \nThe Zoom link is the same for all four webinars. \n(PLEASE NOTE: You will be registering for the entire series.  It is not necessary to register for each webinar separately.)

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn Virtual Ranch Succession Panel
DESCRIPTION:As Benjamin Franklin famously said\, “Nothing is certain except death and taxes.” While we may not like to talk about either\, planning for the future of your ranch is one conversation you can’t afford to put off. \nAccording to the 2017 Census of Agriculture\, the average age of a U.S. rancher was 57.5 years old. Fast forward to today\, and that number is likely closer to 65. The question is no longer if change is coming but how prepared are you when it does? \nWhat happens to your place if something happens to you?\nWho will carry on the work you’ve built?\nHow can you keep your land productive and your legacy intact? \nThis session is your opportunity to get clear answers and true peace of mind. Ranchers Stewardship Alliance will explore real-world options for succession planning\, strategies to keep your name on the mailbox\, and pathways to ensure working lands remain in production for generations to come. \nThey’re bringing together three trusted experts to guide the conversation: \n\nBrent Turner\, author of Peace of Mind\, Columbus\, MT\nAriel Overstreet-Atkins\, owner of Bluebird Law\, Billings\, MT\nCurt Barnekoff\, retired CPA of 40 years\n\nBring your questions! If you’d like yours read during the session\, email it to moxarart@ranchstewards.org. Prefer to stay anonymous? \nJust let them know in your message. \nJoin Ranchers Stewardship Alliance as you’ll learn together\, share experiences\, and take practical steps toward a strong\, secure future for your operation. \nThis is your chance to gain personalized insights that can truly shape what comes next. \nZoom link will be emailed upon registration.
