Grazing To Restore The Land
Our Mission
HERD Foundation
(Holistic Education for Reversing Desertification)
We are dedicated to promoting holistic planned grazing as a sustainable solution for land management and ecological restoration.
Holistic planned grazing regenerates healthy soils, restores the watershed, mitigates fire & flood risk, fosters carbon sequestration, and increases the nutrition and resiliency of plants and animals.
Our Goals
Education & Research
The HERD foundation provides education to change public opinion about land use and the importance of holistic planned grazing as a form of regenerative agriculture. We work in urban communities with public and private stakeholders that support our goals.
Our History
Rancher Frank Fitzpatrick has practiced Holistic Planned Grazing for decades with a proven history of regenerative agriculture.
Land Stewardship
Promote the restoration of our soil and grasslands, enhancing the biodiversity of our ecosystem in harmony with suburban agriculture. We strategically manage each piece of land individually to restore health to our environment. Regular monitoring of soil health and its carbon-holding capacity are some of the tools we use to determine if our management actions are working to reach our long-term restoration goals.
Come visit one of our ranches and see holistic planned grazing in action!
