SCCD and Working Lands Collaborative to host workshop 

Sheridan County Conservation District Manager Carrie Rogaczewski and local landowner Tiffanie Labbe stopped by Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to discuss an upcoming workshop organized by the Working Lands Collaborative. 

The Working Lands Collaborative is a group of local landowners and organizations that work together to improve and conserve land through furthering education, awareness and collaboration. 

Facilitated by the Sheridan County Conservation District, the Working Lands Collaborative has been growing in size and scope mostly through word of mouth. Rogaczewski said the group is made up of large and small-scale landowners all benefiting from the sharing of information and cooperation.

The next workshop will take place on Aug. 13 – 14, at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds. Subjects that will be addressed include adaptive grazing and managing brittle environments. 

Labbe has been working with the keynote speaker that will be featured during the workshop, Fernando Falomir with Understanding Ag.  Fernando is currently on his family’s ranch in Mexico, has taught Ranching for Profit in Mexico and consults in many arid places, including here in Wyoming.
