Range Health Assessments

Healthy rangeland is essential for sustainable livestock operations and long-term land productivity. Proper management helps ensure that grazing supports forage production without degrading soil or vegetation.
Soil & Forestry Consulting provides professional range health assessments to evaluate vegetation condition, soil stability, and overall site health. Our assessments help landowners and operators understand current conditions, meet provincial requirements, and make informed grazing management decisions.

We deliver clear findings and actionable recommendations tailored to your land and operational goals.

Testimonials

“Robert Proudfoot is a very diligent, hard working and knowledgeable environmental scientist. He understands soil and its classification, especially for irrigation purposes. He has also managed several projects where contaminated soil is a concern. With his degree in plant science and vegetation studies, he is extremely capable at plant identification or vegetation site assessments. Robert's training in forestry has taken him into remote and isolated areas and has focused on re-forestation and tree farming. He has applied these skills mainly in Alberta and also in Africa while volunteering with MCC (the development branch of the Mennonite Church). Wishing you all the best." - Valerie P.
