A Conversation with Grady and Tammy
Join us for a special virtual program featuring Grady Grissom, owner of Rancho Largo Custom Beef and 2017 Leopold Conservation Award Winner, and Tammy VerCauteren, Executive Director at Bird Conservancy of the Rockies. They’ll share their stories on how their paths crossed, perspectives about cattle ranching and bird conservation on private lands and the future of grasslands. We’ll also explore how birds serve as indicators of healthy, productive landscapes and the importance of grazing for grassland bird conservation. Following the presentation, Tammy and Grady will take your questions!
