HORSE PROPERTY
STEWARDSHIP PLANNING
Do you own or manage a horse
property, and need technical assistance with
planning to:
1. Improve stewardship of the
pastures, grazing lands, wetlands, riparian
areas, or wildlife habitat areas?
2. Assess how many horses can
be supported by those lands?
3. Determine whether you have
any lands management problems or special resources
issues that you could improve, to be a better
steward?
4. Supplement the technical
advising available from your local office of
the University of California Cooperative Extension
Sercvice, USDA Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) or Resource Conservation District
(RCD)?
We can work with you to provide:
1. Advising and preliminary
assessments of the status of your management
issues, and about what you can do to improve
stewardship of your property;
2. More detailed assessments
of key issues and special resources with an
illustrated report;
3. Follow-up monitoring of the
status of key issues and special resources identified
in the assessments
