summer pasture
Warm-weather grassland
Summer pasture is grazing land used during warm months, typically at higher elevations where snow prevents year-round use.
The term appears in discussions of traditional livestock management, where animals move seasonally between lowland winter quarters and mountain meadows: The herders drove their flocks to summer pasture in June.
