Five Year Strategic Plan for The Dixon Water Foundation
2022
MISSION: The Dixon Water Foundation promotes healthy watersheds through sustainable land management to ensure that future generations have the water resources they need.
STRATEGIC GOALS:
1. Operate the Foundation’s ranches (Ranches) as model ranches for watershed and grazing land health using adaptive multi-paddock (AMP) grazing.
2. Conduct and host monitoring and research on the Ranches to understand the changing conditions of the Ranches and the role of management in influencing those changes.
3. Share information about the management and changing conditions of the Ranches as well as the benefits of AMP grazing to land managers and the general public through direct communications and through education events with the Foundation’s partners at the Ranches.
4. Develop and implement an annual apprenticeship program to train future ranch managers in the techniques and benefits of AMP grazing.
5. Develop and support partnerships with other organizations to encourage the implementation of good watershed and grazing land management practices beyond the Ranches.
