Holistic Resource Management
and friends invite you to celebrate with us our 20th year helping
Texas Land Stewards create a more sustainable future. We will honor our mentor,
Clint Josey, and the land he stewards with 3 days of classes, clinics and
presentations that will help you walk a little lighter on the Earth. Reserve
these dates: October 25, 26 and 27, 2007. Plan to spend them at Bear Creek
Ranch, Aledo, TX (near Weatherford) with others who feel a connection to the
natural world and our co-hosts The Oklahoma Land Stewardship Alliance and The
Dixon Water Foundation.
This celebration began 20 years ago
when Clint Josey and the rest of our founding fathers formed the nonprofit
organization, Holistic Resource Management of Texas, based on the lifework of
Allan Savory. Holistic Management is a way to create
the life you want, generate the wealth you need and ensure a sustainable future
ecologically, economically and socially. Clint believes passionately that
Holistic Management is what will save agriculture and for these 20 years has
worked toward that vision, both with HRM of Texas and Holistic Management
International.
Because he envisions a future where
HRM is educating and influencing more and more land stewards, Clint is helping
set up the HRM Foundation, stressing a future vision of financial
sustainability for HRM. To honor Clint
Josey for all he has done for agriculture and for the various nonprofits that
strive to ensure his vision of healthy ecosystems, we offer an opportunity for
all to help seed the new HRM Foundation with their donations, as a statement of
joining Clint in his belief that we can make a real difference in the way
resources are managed in Texas, PLANTing for our future.
