SUMMARY:Grazing for Change
DESCRIPTION:Wildlife biologist Allan Savory\, originator of Holistic Management and Holistic Planned Grazing (aka Adaptive Multi-paddock Grazing)\, will be in Keene\, New Hampshire on Friday\, September 21st\, to celebrate Stonewall Farm becoming a member of the Savory Institute’s Global Hub Network. \nAs you may know\, Savory’s revolutionary insights enable humanity to swiftly restore ecological health and fertility to degraded pastures and grasslands\, even – for the first time in history – in the driest and least hospitable regions on the planet. Crucially\, healing the Earth in this way offers the potential to capture in soil billions of tons of atmospheric carbon annually. \nSavory will be leading a Pasture Walk at Stonewall Farm in the morning of the 21st\, and giving a keynote address that evening at Keene High School. In the afternoon\, a panel session will feature representatives from Stonyfield Farm\, the yoghurt manufacturer (Stonewall is a supplier to Stonyfield)\, and Badger Organic Skin Care products. My colleague\, Soil4Climate cofounder Seth Itzkan\, and I will also be speaking. \nAdmission is limited to 50 people for the events happening during the day\, so REGISTER NOW to secure a spot. The auditorium at Keene High School can accommodate 800+ people so everyone who wishes to should be able to attend the evening talk by Savory (who turns 83 this month). Details and tickets here.
