Learn why a ‘whole system’ approach to regenerative grazing is most successful. 

Join us on our one day practical regenerative grazing workshop for upland land managers. Set in the stunning Lake District next to Ullswater Lake – Gowbarrow Hall farm is a Wilderculture Project demonstrating how regenerative grazing can achieve improvements in profitability, resilience and ecosystem services.

Join us on the farm and in the new training barn facility to enjoy and informative and friendly introduction to regenerative grazing for upland farms or conservation/rewilding sites.

The training includes a delicious Cumbrian lunch that includes produce from the farm. 

Learn the basics of how to:

• Start with regenerative grazing in an upland setting.
• Build resilience to flood and drought.
• Improve soil health and functional fertility.
• Increase the quality and quantity of forage
• Decrease input costs
• Improve livestock health and productivity.
• Increase biodiversity through livestock management.

Who is this for?

Land managers and farmers of upland sites who manage livestock and want to learn the basics of regenerative grazing. You will need to be able to walk over rough terrain (we will be walking slowly with lots of stops). 

Led by Caroline Grindrod, this one-day workshop will explore why regenerative grazing is most successful when applied using a ‘whole farm system’ approach. From an upland perspective, we explore why the soil, plant, animal, and farm ecosystems must work together to successfully reduce inputs and increase pasture productivity.
