The cottonwood ranch riparian management case study

摘要：

After years of grazing management by reducing numbers and maintaining long seasons of use,the Cottonwood Ranch began using a Holistic Management Team to bring together people from various interests (Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service,environmental,ranching,wildlife,etc.).The Team shares values,ideas,and views to develop a vision of how to effectively manage specific areas on the Ranch.The Teams landscape vision could be summarized as : environmental security ; abundance for life (healthy environment) ; sustainable secure high‐quality life ; many products (e.g.,healthy riparian areas) ; and sustainable people‐living on the land.The Ranch consists of large pastures,which were divided into use areas using natural barriers,fences,and low stress livestock handling.These are smaller more manageable units used to assure appropriate stock density ; allow proper timing for recovery ; evaluate the effectiveness of the grazing system ; and monitor resource objectives over time.
