Dixon Water Foundation

Promoting healthy watersheds through sustainable land management

Gainesville Daily Register features Josey Pavilion and holistic management

by

Gainesville reporter Kit Chase has two articles in this week’s Daily Register about the Dixon Water Foundation.

“We’re grass farmers basically as well as raising cattle and sheep.  We’re (also) raising our native grasses. We like to create an environment where there’s enough diversity for all of our animals. We take very good care of our land,” Dixon Water Foundation treasurer Melissa Bookhout says in the article, “Cooke County ranchers practice holistic land management.”  The article focuses on the foundation’s Lone Star Land Steward Award, in addition to giving an overview of our grazing methods at Leo and Pittman Units

The second article, “Living Building’ soon to be complete,” features the new Josey Pavilion.

Writers Robert and Janelle Fears describe how wildlife benefits from holistic land management on Dixon’s four ranches.
