Not only is grass essential for keeping livestock healthy, but livestock are also essential in keeping native grasses healthy. WHF’s regenerative grazing management plans help the land thrive while enhancing cattle management.

Coastal Prairies and Marsh habitats managed under improved practices significantly reduce pollution from the local environment which benefits the quality of water for freshwater aquatic species and for municipal drinking sources.

Research has shown that there are three times as many species of birds on a large restored native grassland and wetland restoration site in northeast Texas compared to a similar unrestored parcel.

As vegetation increases, so does carbon capture, with the greatest impact happening underground. While trees play an important role, native grasses outperform them by two to four times because their vast root networks lock carbon deep into the soil for long-term storage.

Grasslands are a key component in reducing major flood events. The runoff from 20 acres of native grasslands is equivalent to runoff of one acre of paved land. 60,000 acres under improved management strategies can store up to 18 billion gallons of water over a three-year period.

Soil carbon sequestration is the term used to describe the process of atmospheric CO₂ being absorbed by grasses and stored in their roots and the soil.
