Goatapelli foundation presents
Regenerative Grazing Intro Series
Fire Mitigation, Invasive Plant Control & Browzing Business Basics
DATE/TIME TBD
Two ways to learn, one powerful program: weekly recorded lessons (watch anytime), then engage live with the experts, Lani Malmberg, Donny Benz, and Kaiti Benz.
Graziers get an overview of restoring ecosystems to health and full functioning, without the use of machinery and chemicals, gaining insight into the business essentials—contracts, logistics, insurance needs, and client relations—that support long-term success.
Land managers learn how to vet qualified skilled graziers by recognizing ecological expertise, animal-handling ability, and the proven reliability required to deliver safe, effective results.
Public information so that interested citizens can gain a clear view of goat browsing: application, costs, and alternatives.
- Learning time: 8 hours (4 video + 4 live)
- Each week includes a 1-hour recorded lesson and a 1-hour live Zoom, with two recorded lessons before the final class.
- Live classes: 4 weeks on Tuesdays
- Open to anyone 18+—all levels welcome
- Email to reserve your spot or questions
Week 1: Intro to Regenerative Goat Browsing
LIVE Q&A | Tues, Sep 30, 6-7pm MT
Goat browsing is balancing art and science—blending ecology with animal and grazier skills. More than tools, goats are partners in restoration, recycling nutrients, restoring ecosystems, and building resilience where other methods fail.
Week 2: Wildfire Mitigation
LIVE Q&A | Tues, Oct 7, 6-7pm MT
This module explores how regenerative goat browsing can help prevent wildfires and why prevention is smarter, safer, and more sustainable than fighting fires after they start.
Week 3: Small Business & Contract Fundamentals
LIVE Q&A | Tues, Oct 14, 6-7pm MT
A goat browsing business blends entrepreneurship, logistics, and animal husbandry. Learn what it takes to run a sustainable operation with practical insights for managing the business side of regenerative agriculture (finances, insurance, contracts, equipment, permits, etc.).
Week 4: Invasive Plant Control & FAQ
LIVE Q&A | Tues, Oct 21, 6-7pm MT
We dive into how goats shape the land and provide real-world examples of how to control invasive, poisonous, or noxious plants (e.g., thistles, tamarisk, and cheatgrass). See how targeted browsing restores landscapes, reduces wildfire risk, and why skilled training matters.
