NatGLC’s work ensures that farmers and ranchers remain on the land, wildlife thrives, and all of society receives clean air, clean water, and healthy proteins for generations.

The mission of NatGLC is to deliver assistance to grazing land stewards to foster the benefits grazing lands provide to family farms, ranches, local communities, and all of society.

Who We Work With

NatGLC works with individuals from leading agricultural organizations across the country to establish local, state, and regional partnerships to foster grazing lands conservation and stewardship. 

We are founded on the principles of voluntary action by those who own and manage grazing lands, and a respect for private property rights.

“As we continue to champion good grazing practices,
we are contributing to a more resilient and sustainable future for agriculture.”

Ashley McDonald, Executive Director

This training aims to enable students to assist livestock producers more effectively through improved communication skills and knowledge, related to applied resource conservation on grazing lands and livestock operations.

Participation will increase students' understanding and knowledge of livestock operations and the economic impact of conservation-related decisions.

The Legacy Landscapes Program is designed to give farmers & ranchers the credit they’re due for their stewardship of our grazing lands. This initiative aims to support livestock producers in record keeping and implementing grazing land improvements that benefit both their operation and the environment. The program is being funded by Nestle® Purina PetCare, who utilizes beef byproducts in their pet food, and has a carbon reduction goal to reduce emissions within their supply chain.
