Sand County Foundation works in partnership with other national organizations to improve state and federal conservation policies that view farmers and ranchers as drivers of environmental improvement and break down barriers to conservation adoption.
Among our many outreach efforts, we engage farmers and ranchers in performance-based conservation practices, convene water quality professionals to address watershed issues, and connect historically underserved farmers and ranchers with conservation mentors and resources as part of our Land Ethic Mentorship Program.
We build policies that deliver spectacular improvements in the speed of environmental progress.
