Formed for charitable, education, horse rescue rehabilitation, animal nutrition, community food security and soil health. Namely in Ranching Conservation, regenerative balanced and active land management for fire mitigation, native and innovative grassland cultivation for habitats and natural spring water systems. Utilizing natural water run off for building up soil, protecting against erosion and benefiting the community with creating habitats for wildlife, pollinators and productive soil conservation projects. LMF’s Hooves for Habitats is a sustainability project above and beyond organic practices that culminates intensive rotational grazing of horses and cattle to better the soil and forages in the goal of bringing back forage quality for migratory species and sensitive plant species. Our equines are rescued, rehabilitated, then repurposed and retrained to become useful for youth 4h, high school rodeo/equestrian teams and nutrition/grazing education for facility management. Land Manatee Foundation utilizes animals over machinery in daily capacity and will come to offer ranch conservation certificates, carbon sequestration carbon removal credit and local food network services scalable to different communities.

Restoring and conserving as Ranch-land as a Land Trust. This stands for regenerative grasslands, carbon sequestration and productive views of green spaces for the communities. Active management of livestock, equine and ecosystems, timing appropriate grazing and agriculture are integral working environments for different habitats, sustainability grounds and regenerative sites for our communities benefit in wildlife and soil health that needs balanced and protected from loss of productivity, pollinators and sensitive species when overtaken by non-steward practices, development, protection claims and being lost from carbon sequestration.
