The South Texas Grazing Land Coalition (STGLC) is a non-profit organization. They are proud to be hosting a workshop for landowners titled “Principles B4 Practices – Developing Your Own Conservation Plan” on Thursday, September 25, 2025. This one-of-a-kind event will empower ranchers and landowners to create conservation strategies tailored specifically to their property while learning practical ways to enhance soil health, strengthen grazing management, and improve long-term profitability.
Servando Leal, Chair of the Coalition, encourages landowners to take part. “Every ranch is unique, and every landowner faces different challenges. This workshop gives ranchers the chance to build a plan that works for them while also learning from neighbors who share the same passion for land stewardship,” he said.
Hands-On Learning, Real Results: Unlike a traditional seminar, this workshop is designed to be hands-on and interactive. Technical specialists will sit down with landowners, review maps of their ranches, and provide tailored guidance. The goal is to equip participants with tools they can take home and immediately apply to their operations.
“Improvements on our ranches can be expensive, but with the right knowledge and strategies, they become smart investments,” Leal explained. “Enhancing soil health not only benefits grazing but also strengthens the sustainability and profitability of the entire ranch.”
A Coalition of Partners Working Together: This effort is a collaboration between the South Texas Grazing Land Texas Grazing Land Coalition, USDA-Natural Resources Conservation
Service, Texas A&M Center for Grazing Lands and Ranch Management, and Texas A&M AgriLife. Generous support from Orion Range and Pasture also helps make this workshop possible.
Together, these partners bring decades of experience in land management, conservation, and ranching practices. Their combined mission is to ensure that landowners across South Texas have access to the best resources and guidance available.
