The full-day intensive will be facilitated by Spencer Smith of the Savory Institute and the Jefferson Center. He is a nationally recognized expert in regenerative agriculture and holistic land management, and a master verifier. The seminar will provide an overview of holistic management and regenerative ag practices with a focus on fire fuels reduction and maintaining healthy forests and grasslands.

Carefully managed domestic herds mimic the behaviors of the ancient herds that populated the immense grasslands that once covered much of the landmass of this planet. “We can recreate that synergy by intelligently managing domestic herds to achieve similar results – carbon and rainfall retained by the soil, fire fuels converted to natural fertilizer building a healthy forest and forest canopy. This de-escalates climate change, increases watershed resilience and reduces the risk of out of control wildfires,” notes Charlotte Williams, Napa Vision 2050 President. “We encourage participation by any land managers and owners, farmers, ranchers and those interested in the subject,” she adds.
