Women on the Range is a program that is open to all. Through hands-on workshops and peer learning, this program empowers landowners, ranchers, and natural resource managers to build confidence and leadership in grazing and land stewardship. The program creates a welcoming and community-oriented learning environment where women can deepen their knowledge of rangeland ecology, livestock production, and conservation practices.
Women on the Range emphasizes experiential education and practical skills that participants can integrate into their own ranches, operations and work environments. The program is designed to foster growth, confidence, and community while providing the technical tools needed to make informed decisions about land and livestock management.
