Appalachian Sustainable Development's "Ask an Agroforester" Webinar Series is an opportunity for us to come together for a deep dive into detailed information about specific Agroforestry topics. Host Emilie Tweardy, (along with new guest hosts this season!) stewards deep conversations on emerging topics and perennial favorites. Bring your questions for our regional Agroforestry heroes, and have an opportunity to get real answers from real professionals. We've got a great lineup put together for you, free of charge. Please consider making a donation to ASD to support continued free programming like this!

These events are online only. Reminders and links will be sent out 1 week before, 1 day before, and the morning of the event. All webinars will be recorded and posted to ASD's Youtube channel for your viewing convenience. Please view, like, subscribe, and share widely! Check out our Ask an Agroforester Playlist to see our library of existing episodes.

Each webinar will consist of a welcome and intro from ASD and a short presentation from our guest(s), followed by a 2-part Q and A. The first half will consist of questions collected ahead of time, the 2nd half of the Q and A will be live audience questions.
