Excerpt from Program:
"Monitoring:
"The Quivira Coalition publication Bullseye! Targeting Your Rangeland Health Objectives was written to fill the gap between the needs of land managers and the confusing array of monitoring methods available. Bullseye! has been used on a variety of ranches across the west by landowners seeking to improve land health, wildlife habitat and revenue. These ranchers are making their land more resilient, even during dry times. Their stories will be shared, with data displayed and implications for management discussed. Some have altered their recovery periods between grazings, adjusted stocking rates, changed season of use, and altered classes of livestock. Audience members will be invited to comment on these stories, plus share their own, in a dialogue geared toward improving resilience on the new ranch.

"Carbon Sequestration:
"The Chicago Climate Exchange recently launched a carbon sequestration program for managed rangelands. Ranchers in eligible areas are now able to enroll their grazing lands in the program for financial return when meeting the program's requirements. Participating ranchers must work with an aggregator, such as Beartooth Capital Partners, to participate in the program. Beartooth will describe where eligible ranches are located, implications for management, monitoring requirements, NRCS programs and grazing planning. Carbon sequestration will also be discussed, along with 'emitters' and 'offsetters.' At the program's conclusion, landowners will be able to determine if they wish to pursue enrollment in the program."
