Grazing
An old solution to our new problems.
Crawford Stewardship Project’s Grazing Program provides educational resources and programming via public school programs and landowner resources for those leasing to graziers or looking to get into grazing themselves.
-
Our work:
-
Increase awareness and education surrounding grazing as both a viable business and effective tool for increasing resilience.
-
Strengthen regional farming networks through partnerships and collaborations
-
Improve water and nutrient retention on the landscape

School Grazing Programs
In 2023 Crawford Stewardship introduced the North Crawford Community Pastures Program, a hands-on grazing education program for North Crawford School. The program aims to increase the amount of educational opportunities offered to K-12 students via the grazing of sheep on school grounds while simultaneously reducing land maintenance costs and invasive species on the property.
In early 2025 we partnered with Boscobel School to move forward with a grazing program on their 80 acre school forest. This program focuses on the rotational grazing of beef cattle according to an NRCS grazing plan.
