Conservation Grazing Toolkit<\/span><\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tConservation grazing is not a recipe or a grazing plan. It is an approach that aims to use grazing for conservation outcomes. It has been variously defined as \u201clivestock grazing that delivers multiple benefits for wildlife and people now and into the future,\u201d and \u2018the use of livestock where an important objective is to manage the site for wildlife, whether it be grassland, woodland, wetland or scrub, in addition to people\u2019, among other descriptions (Tallowin 2021, Payne 2020).\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Guide Components<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The top row of linked photos below (intro, concepts, and practices) gives an overview of conservation grazing, principles that guide integration of grazing and wildlife, and practices to implement this approach. Below those are resources that illustrate and document conservation grazing, including case studies, videos, resources for writing grazing plans, and a some “snapshots” of important issues in conservation grazing, herding, and shepherding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
