Lethbridge County hosted the annual Sustainable Agriculture Tour on September 24 for nearly 120 citizens and students looking to learn more about sustainable production practices some producers are using throughout the County.

Our Outreach Assistants are halfway through their summer! Read about some of their adventures so far, including meeting “Mantracker” Terry Grant, encountering their first snake, and more!

For the readers who do not know me very well, my name is Antoine Gendron and I am a University of Lethbridge student. I am completing my fifth year of post secondary school (2-year Sport Management and Ministry Diploma and 3rd year at U of L) and the Bachelor of Science portion of my mixed Bachelor of Science and Education. I became involved with the Oldman Watershed Council because of my passion for environmental science, leadership, education, and positive change.

This year, OWC became a first-time sponsor of the 16th annual Grazing School for Women organized by a variety of local Municipal Districts and Counties, research groups, and stewardship groups such as Cows and Fish. While grazing schools have played a major role in improving the understanding and management of sustainable grazing and range health for over 20 years, the new women-only schools do more, offering a unique networking and collaborative learning environment specifically design for ranching women.
