About this Event
We are excited to be planning a regional Women Pastoralist Gathering in conjunction with the upcoming Society for Rangeland Management Annual Meeting in Monterey, CA. This Gathering will address a documented need for targeted programming that empowers women through peer-to-peer learning, skills development, and network building.
The proposed Gathering will bring together women pastoralists to share experiences, develop leadership and advocacy skills, and learn sustainable pastoral practices. This gathering supports rural communities across North America by strengthening the capacity of women pastoralists to manage rangelands sustainably, adapt to climate change, and ensure the long-term viability of pastoral systems that provide critical ecosystem services including carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, water quality protection, and open space preservation.
