Taylor Grazing Act

The Taylor Grazing Act, passed in 1934, regulates the grazing of livestock on public lands in the United States. Its main goal is to prevent overgrazing, which can damage the land and disrupt ecosystems. The Act established grazing districts managed by the federal government, requiring permits for ranchers to graze their cattle or sheep on these lands. By promoting sustainable land use and protecting natural resources, the Act helps balance the interests of ranchers with environmental conservation.
