Silvopasture is the practice of integrating trees, grazing animals, and forages in a mutually beneficial ecosystem that has been rated #1 among all agriculture solutions to a changing climate.
In this course we will discuss the indigenous roots of silvopasture and agroforestry, learn best principles and practices, and discuss strategies to convert woodlands to silvopasture and plant trees successfully in pasture. Material includes videos, readings, case studies, live webinars and Q&A, and previously recorded webinars from past offerings.
Students get immediate access to content when they register and then lifetime access to the content including the opportunity to tune into future live offerings.
