Emerging generation possesses the potential to become future leaders, driving positive change and innovation~

Arguments about the environmental benefits of livestock grazing on marginal lands is only valid when said livestock are native species. In the case of bison or buffalo, natural habitats and ecosystems do benefit from their presence because they evolved to live in North America and belong here. Their behavioral patterns restore native plants and grasses and harm european invasive species, this in turn supports and attracts native birds and insects, which then creates a cascading chain of events that ultimately culminates in the restoration of the natural habitat. In this way, the axiom that croplands should shrink in order to free up land for habitat restoration is not incompatible with rearing native species for food. In fact, native species marry food source benefits with habitat and ecosystem restoration in perfect harmony -- just as Native Americans experienced life in North America, complete with using bison as a food source and community resource. #sociology #economics #environmentalscience #agriculture #history #philosophy

PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD, YOU’LL BE TESTED DAILY. Hey there, friends! Thanks for stopping by my page today! I’ve had a wonderful few days at the women in construction event for John Deere equipment and forestry. I was honored to be selected to participate, and I learned so much. Great experience! Now, I’m headed back from Illinois, to the daily reality of life…the truth is, I’m ready to be home. I thought about this verse today as I traveled, because I know sometimes we may go days, weeks, or even months without a smooth day where everything goes to plan. Hey, welcome to the game of life! This bible verse tells us we will be spiritually tested, especially if you’re a person of faith. The good news is that God gives us His word and His promises, so that we can equip ourselves with knowledge and faith. Without this armor, we can fall victim to the devil’s lies. Stay in God’s word, have faith in His promises, and you’ll be able to defend your spirit against the enemy’s traps. Have a blessed rest of the week, friends. See you soon! #karlagoldammer #leadership #leadbyexample #reflect #humbleheart #makeapositiveimpact #shareyoursmile #makewisechoices #integrity #plantpositiveseeds #bethebestyou #healthyliving #healthybodyandmind #selfimage #thebestversionofyou #wisdom #wisdomoverknowledge #stayonschedule #stayorganized #organization #timemanagement #efficiency #womeninconstruction #productivity #network #inspire #leadersbuildleaders

There are plenty of people who will tell you “whats best” to do with your land… There’s plenty of people who will be upset with your management decisions. Buts important to remember, they dont dictate what you should do with your land.

But I know the decisions can feel daunting… How to know what to do when, in what order, which is the best decisions?

Its the biggest mistake. In an attempt to make things “easier” by doing it all, you in fact hurt those you love most and risk your family’s legacy. What’s the problem? NOT talking about succession plans for the land with your family…. NOT sharing the land’s history or management plan future with your family… Not gaining input from your family on what they see in the future. Its not always a natural conversation. But its a crucial one. Because over 50% of the time, the story of women I work with starts with no knowing the past management of the land or the future plans because it was alwsys done in the head of her father/husband/brother… The good news is it doesnt have to stay that way! In fact, the 2025 Woman Landowner Symposium is built specifically for this problem: growing your succession and legacy together. I encourage you, snag your early Registration seat at the 2025 Enrooted Ownership evebt! Check out our leading expert speakers and an agenda guaranteed to be like no other.

Its the persistent, small intentional actions year over year + patience. Its working with trusted resources and professionals (Proverbs 15:22) Its being intentional with your plans to match YOUR goals (Proverbs 21:5) Its being patient for the long-run (Galatians 6:9) And remembering others “Google-expert” opinions dont matter with YOUR land (Colossians 3:23) Landownership isnt for the faint of heart, and is undervalued by many. But I can promise you, its worth it… if you can only stay diligently in the game. If you’re just inheriting the reigns, and trying to figure out where to start, I can help you! Whether you want just the first introductory steps, to join a group of women to tackle the foundations, or one personalized consulting and coaching… I have something for you. #landandladies #faithfamilyforest #forestmanagement #youronlineforester #forestry #womenempoweringwomen #landowner #christianity #landownership #christianliving
