About Land EKG™

Based on more than 50 years of ecological research,  Land EKG™ Monitoring © has been tested, refined and established on more than  seven million acres across 16 western and mid-western states and Canada. It is supported by ranchers, NRCS, BLM, USFS, USFWS, EPA, DEQ, The Nature Conservancy, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, university and extension professionals, Stockgrowers and grazing associations.

Land EKG™ Inc. provides high quality personalized rangeland solutions and education for sustainable economic and ecological health.  We equip a diverse group of land stewards, including private ranch-owners, conservationists and agency representatives, with a unique protocol to track range health, create management strategies and implement profitable customized programs. Land EKG™ Inc. offers several services, products and other workshops on topics including profit strategies, grazing and habitat plans, weed management, and innovative fencing systems.

The focus of our business is an advanced, goal-driven rangeland monitoring tool, called Land EKG™.  This monitoring protocol transforms simple field data into a “Land Eco-graph©."  Like an electrocardiogram monitors performance of your heart, a “Land Eco-graph©" depicts the function and productivity of your land and leads your management plans into the “what-next phase”.  Land EKG Monitoring© system is available in 2 levels: E-Z EKG© for simple instant management direction  and Level II Baseline  providing long-term direction for ranchers and other management professionals.

Land EKG™ Monitoring © is useful for diverse groups.  It builds common ground to  communicate goals and actions. Environmental groups gain a better understanding of ecological management, and landowners discover that economic health is entirely dependent upon ecological health. This process makes sense, and the professional team at Land EKG™ Inc. works to meet your land and profit needs for future generations.

Principals Charley and Sara Orchard, have been actively involved with land and habitat management on ranch operations for more than 25 years. Charley Orchard is a 4th generation rancher from Wyoming.  Rebecca Baril, the newest member of Land EKG is involved with several educational and database management aspects of the business.
