We have a variety of volunteer needs including daily chores, mucking, feeding, grooming, socializing equines, ranch repair and various projects.
Our next volunteer orientation is Saturday, June 19 from 10-11am. There will also be a volunteer work day at the facility from 11-4. Lunch will be provided. It’s a fun way to meet the volunteers and enjoy a BBQ!

effectively manage grazing to capture more solar energy
improve water cycle function
create effective mineral cycling
and nurture biodiversity on your farm or ranch

He will also explain why managing time rather than just space is critical to effective grazing management.

Please dress for being in the elements and taking a walk.
