About Waves 

Hi folks, I’m Graydon Garner, the face behind Waves. My passion for ranching began as a boy growing up in the southwest corner of Alberta, alongside my love for the outdoors. After earning a degree in environmental science, I continued my ranching journey with my wife and her family on the prairies near Strathmore. Now, I’ve found a way to combine these two passions through Waves.
With over six years of experience in the conservation sector, working with multiple not-for-profit organizations, I’ve taken the next step in branching out on my own. My mission is simple: to partner with producers who share a genuine care for the land and its future.

My Services

What I can provide is a personalized approach to planning, implementing, and stewarding environmental beneficial management practices (BMP's) on your operation. I will focus on learning about you, your goals, and how I can provide the most value to your business.  

Above my experience and insight, working with me also unlocks access to my network of industry professionals and specialists.

 

I pride myself on providing unbiased information and a point of view that producers may not get from within their operation.
