Serge Koenig has served Sauk County, Wisconsin, for nearly thirty years as a county conservationist. But Serge’s journey to conservation began on the other side of the world, during his childhood in Madagascar. In the past year, Serge has helped transition hundreds of Sauk County acres to managed rotational grazing, a farming practice that is more economically stable for farmers and is often described as the gold standard for soil and water conservation. Hear more about Serge's story in this video from the Grassland 2.0 team.
