In 2021, the Altar Valley Conservation Alliance and the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension are convening a three-part workshop series on rangeland seeding. The first workshop will focus on the history, challenges, and opportunities of seeding efforts in the Altar Valley. The second two workshops will focus on identifying appropriate situations and methods for using seeding to increase the presence of vegetation that can thrive in the Altar Valley under future conditions.
At the February 2 virtual workshop, we will have presentations by local experts and interactive discussions on:
- The history of seeding practices used in the Altar Valley,
- Connections between seeding, soils, and vegetation, and
- Interactions between animals (including livestock) and seeding.
The Rangeland Seeding Workshop is part of the Altar Valley Rangeland Resilience Workshop Series, which is designed to support informed and effective adaptation to changing land conditions in the Valley and beyond. It will build upon the first two workshops in the series, Brush Management and Soil Health.
