Tour | Pasture Grazing and Prescribed Fire Tour | Pheasants Forever and Southern Driftless Grasslands

Laura Daniels grew up on a dairy farm, and has been working with grazing cattle ever since. Now, she and her colleague Eric are launching a new endeavor: integrating prescribed fire into their grazing operations to restore vital habitat for grassland birds and wildlife.

Want to see how they balance conservation with a profitable livestock operation? Join Laura, Eric, and a team of grazing and prescribed fire experts for a pasture walk. You'll get a firsthand look at their innovative setup, including how they use virtual electronic fencing (e-collars) to manage their herd and improve the land and how they are managing the woodlands, wetlands, and other habitat types on their property.

• Professionals from Pheasants Forever, Sand County Foundation, and more will be on site to answer your grazing and prescribed fire questions.

• Snacks and drinks will be provided at the beginning and end of the tour. If you would like water while on the tour, please bring your own water bottle. A port-a-potty will also be available at the beginning and end of the event.

• The tour will include some steep terrain and uneven surfaces, please wear good hiking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.

• This event is occurring on private property, attendees will be provided with the exact address upon registration.
