Join us at Meach Cove Farms for a site assessment, planning and design workshop considering silvopasture in the field and considering how new woody plantings can be introduced. This workshop covers multi functions and co-benefits of climate smart grazing including:
- Diversifying perennial plantings in pastures,
- Providing shade for livestock,
- Improving forage quality and in situ fodder,
- Reducing soil and wind erosion and improving soil health,
- Sequestering carbon
This workshop will cover design considerations, layout and spacing of plantings and species selection. Establishing woody perennial plantings as a conservation practice for livestock farms integrates biodiversity, climate mitigation, healthy livestock management, and improved soil quality.
To request a disability-related accommodation to participate in this session, please contact [email protected] by October 17 so that we may assist you.
