SUMMARY:Voice of the Landowner: Navigating Community Relations and Local Government
DESCRIPTION:On March 26\, REFA is partnering with the Center for Energy Education for a free webinar called “Voice of the Landowner: Navigating Community Relations and Local Government.” \n\n\n\nThis session addresses both community dynamics and local government engagement when considering renewable energy projects. Landowners are often absent from local meetings\, yet their voices are powerful—elected officials need to hear directly from those hosting projects. This session features landowners who have spoken publicly about their experiences\, offering practical strategies for: having productive conversations with neighbors\, addressing concerns honestly\, maintaining relationships regardless of differing opinions\, understanding the permitting process\, engaging with zoning boards and county commissioners\, and advocating for property rights at public hearings. An ideal kickoff for the webinar series\, demonstrating the power of authentic landowner voices. \n\n\n\nLearn more: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7VyIipNPS9yijA-nW4RDzg?utm_campaign=40167739-2026%20Webinars&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz–VztH9_zoP_3S2YnQnHGPUWVsydBn1b-K6HBkTbAaLeozUVWPWSfqjFd8cnkQxOgseI_v5BrKBDOmqlNHfC4CE1KKoKg&_hsmi=408420909&utm_content=408420909&utm_source=hs_email#/registration \n\n\n\n\nRSVP

SUMMARY:ASGA Call 96: ASGA and NLR's New Checklist for Implementing Solar Grazing
DESCRIPTION:What does successful solar grazing actually look like in practice\, and how should it be measured? \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we’ll hear from a panel on how this challenge was addressed with a new resource. The American Solar Grazing Association and the National Laboratory of the Rockies (previously the National Renewable Energy Laboratory) developed Means and Metrics: The Standard Checklist for Solar Grazing\, the first comprehensive framework for evaluating solar grazing systems. \n\n\n\nWe’ll also briefly introduce ASGA’s new resource\, A Quick Guide to Agrivoltaics Monitoring & Research Design\, which was created in partnership with The Nature Conservancy\, and outlines core principles for collecting reliable data on agricultural and ecological outcomes under solar infrastructure. \n\n\n\nBuilt from a review of existing research and informed by real-world experience\, the Means and Metrics report provides the first comprehensive framework for understanding the means of successful implementation and the metrics for evaluating performance across solar grazing projects. The guide is organized into six major areas: social\, economic\, ecological\, livestock\, grazing management\, and site design. The report provides practical tools for planning\, record-keeping\, and decision-making. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, ASGA and a panel of industry experts will walk through sections of the report. They’ll discuss how graziers and solar owners and operators can use these checklists to follow industry best practices when implementing solar grazing. Panelists will discuss how these standards can help improve transparency\, strengthen grazing systems\, and support long-term project success.Whether you are a solar grazier\, developer\, landowner\, or researcher\, this session will provide practical tools for evaluating and strengthening solar grazing systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nASGA and NLR’s New Checklist for Implementing Solar GrazingWednesday\, April 8th\, at 4:00pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\nRegistration link: https://luma.com/zz5kd293 \n\n\n\nThank you to our sponsor\, Nofence! \n\n\n\nEvents 2

SUMMARY:ASGA-CFAR Certified Solar Grazing Workshop - Georgia (September 21-23)
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this unique opportunity to expand your knowledge and connect with experts in the field of regenerative agriculture. This unique\, three-day experience provides a deep dive into the principles and real-world application of solar grazing\, led by experts from White Oak Pastures alongside solar site owners and managers. \n\n\n\nParticipants will explore every aspect of solar grazing—from guided site tours to contract negotiation—and gain valuable insight into how this practice can be successfully integrated into diverse farm operations.Class size is limited to 16 participants\, ensuring a personalized and immersive learning experience.All ticket purchases include farm-to-table meals from the White Oak Pastures Farmer’s Table Restaurant throughout the session.CFAR is proud to serve as an ASGA Certified™ solar grazing training provider. Members of the American Solar Grazing Association (ASGA) who complete this workshop are eligible to earn a digital badge and be listed on the ASGA Solar Grazing Map. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nContent for the three-day experience includes: \n\n\n\n\nField visits at two solar farms with differing designs to familiarize the participants with varying challenges/benefits of each design. \n\n\n\nHow to perform a rotational grazing field move with the White Oak Pastures sheep/herd.\n\n\n\nDetailed overview of capital expenditures and resources a solar grazer may need/encounter and the pros/cons with each type. \n\n\n\nPanel discussions with industry leaders in regenerative agriculture\, Owner/Operators of Solar facilities\, and Solar Grazers\n\n\n\nInsight into the bidding\, contracting\, and execution phases of solar grazing.\n\n\n\nDetailed historical outline of regenerative agriculture implementation at White Oak Pastures\n\n\n\nIntroduction to fundamental soil health principles\n\n\n\nDiscussions and demonstration of how sensitive solar equipment is protected from grazing animals. \n\n\n\nPreviously grazed and yet-to-be-grazed paddocks visible for comparison.\n\n\n\nDiscussion/demonstration of how sensitive solar equipment is protected from grazing animals.\n\n\n\nSite-specific discussion of how animals are delivered\, loaded\, and handled while on-site (Portable handling equipment\, Loading ramps/chutes Truck/trailer turnaround space)\n\n\n\nDemonstration/discussion of watering methods and equipment\n\n\n\nDiscussion of grazing goals (forage quality\, soil improvement\, forage height relative to solar panels\, etc.)\n\n\n\nFrom the perspective of solar site owners/managers\, what characteristics make for an ideal solar grazing vendor?\n\n\n\nWhat is a typical sheep stocking rate\, and how is it affected by seasonality\, precipitation\, and forage type?\n\n\n\nHow often is an increase or decrease in the stocking rate necessary? How dramatic are the swings?\n\n\n\nWhat animal classes work best for solar grazing (e.g.\, dry ewes\, weaned lambs)?\n\n\n\nA lot of Question-and-Answer discussion panels to make certain all participants had an opportunity to get their specific questions answered.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration link: https://thecfar.org/products/solar-grazing-september-2026
