Grasslands Committee

The KACD Grasslands Committee is committed to addressing issues affecting the health, preservation, and management of

Kansas grasslands by educating others and promoting the use of best management practices.

By recognizing leaders in the grasslands management arena, this vital natural resource has continued to remain a focal point of

conservation work and stewardship. Resolutions that improve or enhance the best management practices of Kansas’s

grasslands are frequently reviewed in committee and successfully adopted, while educational opportunities are developed and

put into practice.

The committee encourages conservation districts to present local grazing lands awards to those who provide leadership

within their county regarding grassland management. With the cooperation of Sharp Brothers Seed Company, up to two

signs are provided annually for each district to present at their annual meeting.
