The Fort Berthold Land and Livestock Infrastructure Relief for Range Land Improvement project, spearheaded by the Fort Berthold Land and Livestock Association (FBLLA), is vital in enhancing agricultural policy on the Reservation while addressing pressing concerns regarding livestock management. This project includes three key objectives: establishing a small grant program for fencing materials to improve livestock safety and pasture management; enhancing the integrity of fencing infrastructure to promote rotational grazing and reduce overgrazing risks; and fostering collaboration between neighbors to prevent livestock from straying and mitigate issues previously caused by old fencing. By working closely with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Tribe’s Supervisory Range Rider, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Tribal Business Council, the project reinforces accountability. It promotes sustainable practices within the community of tribal producers utilizing range units. Building on previous initiatives with the Native American Agriculture Fund (NAAF), this project aims to improve pasture health, strengthen community ties, and ensure safer livestock management across the Reservation.
