A Common Man’s Thoughts on Climate Change — Lonesome Lands

Scientist are continually beating us over the head with their thoughts on climate change. Maybe its time they hear my thoughts. I am not a Scientist, and I don’t think I am smarter than those who are. Unlike most everyone else who isn’t a scientist, but talks, or writes about climate change, I a...#ArtOfGrazing
Even during extended dry spells, Big Blue seems to turn up in surprising places when lots of TLC (Proper grazing management) is applied. Take a moment to think or at least dream of what the rangeland in your area looked like in the mid 1800’s, when tall grasses were dominant, and brush was limited to small areas that were not prone to wildfire events. From high rainfall areas to the limited rainfall of dryer brittle environments, it was bound to be a sight to behold. The tools and knowledge are available to at least begin to recreate those conditions. Planning and diligence can begin to move this ‘dream’ forward. However one thing is for certain:

In our upcoming landowner workshop, Saving Working Lands: Preparing Landowners for Energy Development, Joseph Fitzsimons will be presenting on Mitigating the Impacts of Energy Development on Ranching and Wildlife Lands.
Joseph Fitzsimons is a natural resources, oil and gas, and water law attorney and a third-generation South Texas rancher. He has served as Vice President of the Texas Wildlife Association and as a Director of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. He is also a former Chairman of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
This presentation will focus on recommended techniques for minimizing the impact of energy development activities on the land, wildlife and the landowner’s ranching operations, including eventual restoration and remediation practices. Emphasis will be placed upon increasing landowner control of the situation before problems arise, in addition to best practices for enforcing contracts once they are in place.
