Forest Farming Workshop
Date & Time: June 13 2024 2-5pm
Location:
Smokey House Center 426 Danby Mountain Road Danby VT 05739
Description: Forest Farming: A Climate Smart Practice This Climate Learning workshop is free and refreshments will be provided. Join us at Smokey House Center for a field session on forest farming - a USDA-recognized agroforestry practice that involves cultivating and stewarding shade-tolerant non-timber forest products in the forest understory. Learn the fundamentals of forest farming such as site selection, species selection, and different production models while we visit different sites across Smokey House's property. We'll also discuss how forest farming can fit into broader forest management strategies to increase economic and ecological resilience as part of a diversified forest and farm planning. To request a disability-related accommodation to participate in this session, please contact leila.larosa@uvm.edu at least two weeks before the event so that we may assist you.
