Maintaining healthy, reliable grass from year to year while dealing with fluctuating climatic conditions and shifting operational needs can be challenging. Whether your grasslands are on Crown or private lands, monitoring is a useful way to measure change on them. As a monitoring tool, the Grassland Monitoring Manual For British Columbia: A Tool For Ranchers will help ranchers detect any problems that may occur.
Addressing these problems at an early stage will help ranchers manage their grasslands with due diligence and assist them in maintaining healthy, productive grasslands. This manual provides a strong systematic approach for recording what is happening on their grassland—both the changes they currently see on the land base, and the changes they might expect based on their management practices.
A healthy, productive grassland will yield better returns to ranching operations.
