We’ve said why the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance exists. But what do we actually do?

In this season-opening episode of the Ranch Stewards Podcast, host Haylie Shipp sits down with RSA Executive Director Angel DeVries, Conservation Director Martin Townsend, and Board President Conni French to break down the mission of this rancher-led nonprofit—and the real-world impact it’s having across the Northern Great Plains.

We’re talking about:

• The millions (yes, millions) in conservation investments RSA has brought to ranch country
• The nuts and bolts of our education and conservation cost-share programs
• Tangible support for ranchers and the landscapes they steward
• Building community, creating space for connection, and why that radical center matters

If you’ve ever asked, “What does RSA actually do?”—this is the episode for you.

The Ranchers Stewardship Alliance (RSA) is a rancher-led, grassroots organization, dedicated to improving the quality of life for rural communities throughout the Northern Great Plains. Through collaborative conservation projects, rancher education events, and local community outreach, RSA works to strengthen our rural community, economy, and culture for generations to come.
