From Strategy to Action: Empowering Tribal Agriculture in the Great Plains

Lark’s experience spans the full scope of AIARMA (25 USC 3711) implementation, with a proven ability to design tailored community engagement strategies that meet each tribe’s unique cultural, political, and environmental context. This includes work throughout Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska.

Lark’s expertise combines scientific knowledge in sustainable land management with a strong understanding of tribal sovereignty, climate change adaptation, and the regulatory landscape of agricultural leasing and permitting on trust lands. This well-rounded approach ensures ARMPs are not only technically sound and legally compliant, but also community-driven and approved on schedule and within budget. Additional Highlights: Upon completion of their ARMPs, tribes became eligible to apply for additional resiliency funding to support plan implementation. Lark supported this next step by assisting with the development of grant proposals
