“Working with Spencer Smith has been a great way for our organization to introduce our community to the framework of Holistic Management. His facilitation skills are exceptionally engaging and insightful, while also delivering complex and detailed information in an accessible and understandable format. Spencer brings a wealth of knowledge and understanding to the table, from his on-the-ground ranching expertise, to the high level holistic context gained from working with communities from around the world. His ability to bridge the gap between scientific data and research, with the practical management of land and livestock is a critical resource for emerging land stewards looking to address the biological, financial, and social systems in which they work. We are incredibly grateful to have Spencer in our resource base, and believe that his impact within our region will continue to provide lasting benefits to the work within the fields of soil health, hydrological systems, biodiversity, and farmer / rancher livelihoods.”
