As farming intensifies to meet global demand, we face critical challenges related to soil health, water conservation, and wildlife habitat. Sand County Foundation is a national nonprofit conservation organization equipping farmers, ranchers, and forestland owners with conservation data and reliable examples to guide their ethical land management.
Our team of scientists works in partnership with landowners and land managers to conduct research and demonstrations of effective agricultural conservation techniques like cover cropping, managed livestock grazing, and pollinator habitat creation that can benefit the environment and the farm's bottom line.
