Education that leads to action is what strengthens Texas rangelands.

The Midland/Ector County Rangeland Revival Seminar brought together landowners, ranchers, and natural resource professionals to learn about key topics impacting working lands across West Texas. The results demonstrate the value of investing in producer education and science-based management.

✅ 275,553 acres represented
✅ 100% of participants increased their knowledge
✅ 80% plan to adopt at least one practice learned at the seminar
✅ 100% increased their understanding of remediation, reclamation, and restoration
✅ 71% learned more about the value of targeted grazing
✅ 71% increased their understanding of prescribed fire as a range management tool

A special shoutout to Brady Evans, Midland/Ector County Extension Agent, for organizing and hosting this impactful program. Brady's commitment to delivering practical, research-based information continues to benefit landowners and natural resource managers across the region.

When knowledge turns into action on the ground, the benefits extend beyond individual ranches to healthier rangelands, more resilient operations, and stronger rural communities.
