Consulting Services
Community Consultation
Living Systems provides a consulting service that includes technical
and logistical support for grazers and land managers with an
interest in ecological land management, fire protection and
grazing management.
Living Systems’ consulting service provides a comprehensive
introduction to basic ecological land management practices including:
managed grazing, grazing timing, stocking density, and managing
invasive plants, as well as covering broader ecological topics
such as energy cycles, plant recovery mechanisms, and native
habitat restoration. For small homeowners with acreages
around or under 1 acre, Living Systems can help you set up your
own site with fencing and several goats. Living Systems
will teach you how to manage your site and provide as-needed
site support. This includes a site visit, education
about your property and its vegetation, and what is needed to set
up the site - including fencing, water and food management.
Living Systems can also provide phone and on-site support
as well as help in reselling your goats at the end of a project.
Because of our commitment to broadening the application and
increasing public awareness of ecological grazing and holistic
land management, Living Systems provides consulting services
to land owners and small farmers at a lower rate.
