The Lancaster County Graziers Group Wednesday announced Allan Savory, cofounder of the Savory Institute, a wildlife biologist and former farmer from Zimbabwe will be featured at their September 19 meeting.

Mr. Savory is a renowned author and cofounder of the Savory Institute, which is a driving force in the Holistic Management approach to landscape management and diversification.

The Savory Institute has helped countless farmers and ranchers around the world come to an understanding of how their management impacts the healing or destruction of the land on which we live, and all creatures of the earth with whom we live.

The Lancaster Graziers Group has asked Mr. Savory to come to Lancaster to share with us about himself, his inspirations, his successes, his failures, and ultimately how he came to create his holistic approach to land management.

This event is a great opportunity to learn and discuss concepts taken from practical experience with a globally-recognized lecturer.

Also speaking will be Chris Kerston, who has worked for the institute and is a facilitator for Mr. Savory.

Mr. Kerston will be speaking about how holistic resource management works and why, making it clear what the Savory Institute is and does, and how they endeavor to make farms and ranches successful.

The Lancaster County Graziers, SpringWood Organic Farm and PA Grazing Lands Coalition invite you to support this event with your attendance-- don’t miss the opportunity to learn from masters in the science of grazing, improving soil and the environment.

The program will be held at the Martindale Reception Center, 352 Martindale Road in Ephrata. Registration begins at 6:00 a.m. and the event runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The registration fee is $75.   Exhibitor spaces are also available.
