Regenerative Land Stewardship for Wildlife & Habitat

Regenerative Land Stewardship for Wildlife & Habitat is a hands-on academy exploring the relationship between soil health, regenerative land management, and thriving elk habitat. This academy is designed for ranchers, land managers, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts who want to better understand how healthy soil supports resilient ecosystems and wildlife populations.

Hosted at CS Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico, this academy focuses specifically on elk and the landscapes they depend on — examining how regenerative principles can improve habitat quality, plant diversity, water availability, and long-term ecosystem function.

Healthy soil is the foundation of resilient landscapes and productive wildlife habitat. This academy centers on how regenerative land stewardship influences ecosystem health at scale — with a particular emphasis on elk habitat across working and natural lands.

Participants will explore how soil function, plant communities, grazing management, and water cycles interact to shape wildlife outcomes. Through field-based learning and real-world observation, attendees will gain a systems-level understanding of how regenerative land management supports biodiversity, habitat resilience, and ecological balance.
