If you advise land managers and are ready to learn more about silvopasture, then this training is for you! Silvopasture is the intentional integration of forages, trees, and livestock and can help increase the productivity and health of farm and forest systems.
The increasing interest in agroforestry among land managers has produced a growing need for technical assistance. Join us and learn about the principles, design considerations, benefits, and potential challenges associated with silvopasture. An online introductory course is available to watch in preparation for the training. You'll leave better prepared to assist your clients with the practice of silvopasture. www. learnagroforestry.com
This workshop is hosted by Interlace Commons, an education and research non-profit focused on expanding agroforestry throughout the Northeastern US. This event will occur rain or shine. Space is limited.
