Rotational grazing systems only succeed when good planning is matched with practical implementation and ongoing evaluation. Part Two of this webinar series focuses on the how, the tools, infrastructure, and monitoring approaches that turn rotational grazing principles into effective, working systems on the ground.

Led by Rob Dinwoodie, PAg., an agrologist with over 35 years of experience in range management, grazing plan development, and field-based monitoring across British Columbia, this session draws on real-world examples from private land, Crown range, community watersheds, and post-disturbance landscapes.

Register separately for Part One February 3, 2026, 9 - 10am: Foundations of Rotational Grazing - Why and How It Works HERE

Part Two: Putting Rotational Grazing into Action: Tools, Infrastructure, and Monitoring

Part Two shifts from concepts to implementation. Building on the foundations established in Part One, this session focuses on the practical tools, infrastructure, and monitoring approaches required to design and evaluate successful rotational grazing systems.

Drawing on Rob’s extensive experience developing grazing plans, advising producers, and monitoring outcomes across a wide range of conditions, this session emphasizes adaptability, problem-solving, and continuous improvement.

Topics include:

• Tools and infrastructure for rotational grazing systems

• Fence design and layout, including permanent, temporary, and emerging technologies such as virtual fencing

• Water development considerations for livestock distribution and performance

• Monitoring grazing success: what to look for in plants, soils, and livestock

• Using monitoring results to adjust grazing plans and improve outcomes over time

Part Two is particularly valuable for agrologists and producers involved in grazing plan development, implementation, and assessment, including work in sensitive environments such as riparian areas, community watersheds, and post-disturbance landscapes.
