Grant Description

TWP is requesting support from the FHL Foundation to host four Tribal-led workshops/field days that engage 100 Puebloan producers in the development of climate-informed range management planning.

Tracking Metric

Description
The increasing susceptibility of rangeland ecosystems in the Southwestern US to catastrophic disaster (persistent drought, rising temperatures) is affecting cultural practices and livelihood opportunities for the Pueblo Peoples in New Mexico. In response, TWP is convening agriculture scientists and educators to develop targeted and effective course content for underserved Native communities on climate-informed rangeland management practices. Indigenous-led, this content will be delivered in a series of 4 practical and hybrid (in-person and virtual) workshops, covering such topics: improving soil health; implementing low-cost, high-impact erosion control structures and monitoring rangeland programs. Hands-on learning opportunities will complement virtual sessions, teaching rotational grazing and stockpiling, native shrubs/grasses incorporation, invasive species removal and soil erosion reduction. TWP is contracting the Quivira Coalition in curriculum development. Since 1997, Quivira has hosted experiential land health workshops for agricultural producers and land managers on regenerative agriculture practices and land management topics, ranging from soil health assessment to planned grazing to biological monitoring. Bringing backgrounds of agricultural biology, conservation programming and 4th generation Puebloan farming from an Indigenous lens, TWP’s National Team (Dr. Valerie Small, James Calabaza & Emily Swartz) are providing project oversight while offering M&E expertise.
