Kathy Voth has been studying and using animal behavior for improving vegetation management for over a decade. Her original focus was on using goats for vegetation management to reduce fire danger for homes in wildland areas. Her seven-year, Joint Fire Science Program-sponsored research project put together the information necessary for managing goats to reduce fire danger including fencing, location of fire breaks and vegetation respont to grazing and to post-grazing fires. Her work is published as a handbook on CD.

In 2004, Voth developed a training method to teach cows to eat weeds. Between 2004 and 2009 she trained over 800 animals in California, Colorado and Montana to eat Canada thistle, leafy spurge, spotted and diffuse knapweed, distaff and Italian thistle, mustard, Dalmatian and yellow toadflax, and more.

Voth worked for the Bureau of Land Management from 1991 to 2003 in public affairs, interpretation, education and research. Her commitment to helping people live sustainably on the landscape ws demonstrated by her efforts to make connections between communities and the natural world around them. She received a National Conservation Service Award for her work on Kokopelli's Trail, the first, long-distance mountain bike trail in Colorado. She was honored with a Meritorious Service Award for her work on the "Storm King Fourteen Memorial Trail" to memorialize fallen firefighters, and the Excellence in Interpretation and Education Award for developing the Tehabi Internship program ot help students transition from the academic world to the world of land management.

Voth now owns and operates Livestock for Landscapes, helping producers understand and use animal behavior to solve land management challenges. She is a popular writer and speaker on land and animal management in the U.S. and Canada.
