Rancher to Rancher

planning/design

The Rancher-to-Rancher (R2R) program is a grassroots, rancher-centered effort to facilitate learning communities among ranchers of California's Central Coast, including Santa Barbara County. Rangelands have significant potential to accumulate carbon-rich, water-holding soil organic matter that is the foundation of ecosystem functions & services, including climate, biodiversity, water quality, water quantity, & natural resource productivity. The project helps interested ranchers set up grazing and infrastructure plans, & monitor small-area, low-risk learning sites on their ranch to improve the relationship between grass & livestock grazing, using resources, tools, & skills they already have.
