Targeted Grazing Webinar

There will be a Targeted Grazing Webinar on Thursday, July 22nd at 12 noon.  To register, contact Carol Taylor at carolt@umd.edu or (410) 827-8056 ext. 135.  A webinar is a seminar that is presented through the world wide web.

If you are unable to attend the webinar, you may view a recording of it at www.naturalresources.umd.edu.  The recording will be posted to the web soon after the live presentation.

Targeted grazing with goats and sheep can be a cost-effective, environmentally-friendly method of controlling invasive weeds on your property.

Instructors for the webinar include Nevin Dawson, Forest Stewardship Educator; Susan Schoenian, Sheep & Goat Extension Specialist; and Brian Knox, Supervising Forester for Eco-Goats.

The American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) has an online educational module on targeted grazing. A handbook on targeted grazing can also be downloaded from ASI's web site.
