The workshops, made possible through a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, will be held:
- Feb. 16-17 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Lubbock, 1102 E. Drew St./FM 1294.
- March 8-9 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Corpus Christi, 10345 SH 44.

- April 26-27 at the Morgan Mill Community Center, 406 CR 156, in Stephenville.
The first day of each workshop will focus on providing natural resource agency personnel with the knowledge and skills to develop collaborative relationships and meet the needs of new ex-urban landowners. On the second day, landowners will receive foundational science-based information regarding the role of fire and grazing on their land.
