Developed by Allan Savory, Holistic Management offers a new decision-making framework that managers in a variety of rangeland-based enterprises are using to help ensure that the decisions they make are economically, socially, and environmentally sound, in both the short and long term. One of the four days will be a field day that will focus on integrated forest/meadow coastal rangeland properties, including the 6,000 acre Jenner Headlands ranch, the newest acquisition of the Sonoma Land Trust, and possibly another TBD location.

Time: Class begins 10 am Wednesday and will end at 5 pm Saturday.

Participants may arrive at OAEC Tuesday evening and depart Sunday morning. There will be a fee of $35 for each extra night.

Residential cost: $595 or $545 if registered two weeks in advance (includes all meals beginning with lunch Wednesday through lunch Saturday, and lodging).

Non-Residential cost: $445 or $395 if registered two weeks in advance and includes lunch and dinner during the course.  

The deposit amount for this course is $100 for both residential and non-residential participants.

Ranchers who make more than 50% of your income from ranching receive a 10% discount on the course fee.
