flag The Maddock family won the Leopold Conservation Award for transforming their North Dakota ranch through regenerative practices after 1990s floods.

flag The Maddock family of North Dakota has won the Leopold Conservation Award for their decades-long shift from crop farming to regenerative ranching on their 4,000-acre property. flag After flood damage in the 1990s, they adopted rotational grazing, cross-fencing, water development, and bale grazing, restoring degraded land, improving soil health, and boosting biodiversity. flag Their holistic approach, inspired by land management training, has created a sustainable balance between cattle production and ecosystem recovery. flag The award, named after Aldo Leopold and given by the Sand County Foundation, recognizes voluntary conservation efforts across 28 states and marks the 10th time it has been awarded in North Dakota.
