Event Summary:
“Located in the heart of the majestic Hill Country, Roam Ranch sits on 600 acres of awe inspiring river bottom land on the outskirts of Fredericksburg, TX.”
Event Description:
The above introduction to the website of ROAM Ranch is descriptive of the confidence that Taylor and Katie Collins have in their vision of building and operating a multispecies regenerative ecosystem in which soil building practices are integrated into every aspect of land management.
In nature’s image, biodiversity is a key aspect of the ranch. Taylor raises bison, ducks, chickens, turkeys, geese, pigs, and intentionally creates habitat for both native and migratory species to co-create on this landscape.
Within 5 years of management the ranch has seen dramatic improvements in soil carbon, water infiltration, plant diversity, and soil health. As a living demonstration to the potential of regenerative land management, the ranch annually hosts thousands of guests from all over the country . Standing in the midst of a dramatic demonstration, Taylor spreads his hands to a positive method of building the land.
When not wrangling bison, Taylor enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, trail running, cycling, – and planting trees.
