Webinar participants will learn that considerations for fencing livestock out of a stream are not as simple and clear cut as many may assume.
With a focus on whether to prevent livestock grazing of riparian areas or not, this webinar will provide highlights of research results from different regions of the eastern U.S. The presenters will provide important planning items to consider when working with livestock producers. To fence or not, many may find that this issue is not such an easy conclusion to reach, no matter what stance a person may have taken in the past. The research studies that are presented and several others will be available to participants.
This webinar is presented by USDA NRCS Science and Technology.
