We own/care take about 360 acres of property and since 1976 have worked to become good stewards of the land…I am most happy to report that both Jeff and I were thoroughly impressed with your knowledge, as well as your enthusiasm and subsequent written report, for improving our situation. Today we are in the process of planning a 3-5 year program of achieving our goals for the property ... most of which is based upon your observations, assessments and recommendations. Count us as "very satisfied customers"... and sincerely, THANK YOU!

As newcomers to the area, we were delighted to learn there was a pasture management class available. The class was perfectly tailored to those of us with small acreage, and especially for those of us with horses. After completing the class we began to make plans for improvements in how we manage our small pasture area. We look forward to implementing the changes and being better caretakers of our property. It's exciting to know that we can control the quality of our pasture through proper management. Before we went to the class, we were completely in the dark…each session clicked and the lights came on. Thank you for the opportunity!

I loved this class! Your enthusiasm is certainly contagious, and the materials are great. I particularly love the fact that you take such a holistic view, managing so effectively to communicate that each of our parcels is part of a landscape and a system.

We have recently purchased 20 acres and had no idea of where we should start with weed control, rebuilding soil, and reestablishing native grasses. Your visit with us was great! You identified several weed problem areas on the property and offered several solutions to each. You equipped us with valuable information about eliminating the weed population while building good pasture ground. Your enthusiasm is contagious and refreshing. Your knowledge of plants is extensive and we would recommend this evaluation to anyone who has an acreage.
