    CONSERVATION AND EDUCATION: MAINTAINING A GENTLE HERD OF COWS THAT KNOW THE SAGUARO JUNIPER LANDS WELL AND CARING FOR THE LANDS WHERE THEY GRAZE. THE COWS ARE AVAILABLE TO TEACH MEMBERS, APPRENTICES AND OTHERS TO BE PRESENT ON THE LAND AND LEARN ABOUT THE LAND AND ITS CARE. OUR GENTLE COWS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR TEACHING APPRENTICES AND VOLUNTEERS HOW TO HANDLE THEM HUMANELY, INCLUDING BRANDING, CASTRATING, AND VACCINATING CALVES. THE COWS ARE ALSO INTEGRAL TO OUR CONSERVATION PRACTICES AND APPROACH. IN 2024 WE PURCHASED 80 ACRES DESCRIBED AS THE N1/2 NE SECTION 10 RANGE 19 E TOWNSHIP 13 S. THIS LAND IS NEAR THE MOUTH OF A LARGE WASH THAT PARALLELS HOT SPRINGS CANYON AND IS A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR, THUS SUPPORTING OUR CONSERVATION MISSION. IT ALSO PROVIDES IMPORTANT ACCESS TO OTHER SAGUARO JUNIPER DEEDED LANDS AND GRAZING LEASES.
