Training and Assistance in Holistic Management
The goal of the Tallgrass Network is to assist our region’s farmers, ranchers and natural resource managers in the adoption of Holistic Management in the day-to-day operation of their properties. Therefore, we seek to provide the training, education and ongoing support that practitioners need to succeed.
Full Holistic Management Training and Accreditation Courses
The complete, standardized Holistic Management curriculum is offered in localized settings through the international network of Savory Hubs, including the Tallgrass Network. The full Savory curriculum is provided through 13 full days or the equivalent of more than 100 hours of instruction.
FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF UPCOMING COURSES, APPEARANCES AND EVENTS, PLEASE SEE OUR CALENDAR AND COURSES.
As a result of completion of these courses, practitioners report increased land productivity and grass forage, increased stocking rate, confident decision-making skills, and achievement of their desired financial-ecological-social outcomes. These courses also provide credit toward becoming a Savory Accredited Professional.
