The DVD is a compilation of these segments which will be shown throughout the year. Topics include rotational grazing, nutrient management/soil amendments, protecting water quality (fencing away from watercourses and wetlands), sacrifice areas, mowing/weed control/forage improvement, manure management, and erosion control/drainage improvements. It can be viewed on the Equestrian Land Conservation Resource website www.elcr.org. Click on Library of Resources and then Land and Stewardship BMPs.
