Agroforestry Farm Tour Series: Silvopasture at Caney Fork Farm
Advertisement
PLEASE NOTE: THIS TOUR LOCATION IS ON CENTRAL TIME. (9AM CST = 10AM EST)
Join us for a tour of a working silvopasture system where sheep rotationally graze a mix of grass species. This system supports soil health, forage growth, and livestock while contributing to carbon sequestration.
Participants will see tree plantings designed for biodiversity, habitat, and forage benefits. The site includes hard and soft mast-producing trees that support wildlife and grazing animals. The majority of the trees are chestnuts, but many more species are included as well. Trees integrated into the pasture provide shade for sheep, improved soil carbon storage, and enhanced forage production.
We will discuss the management of multi-species tree plantings and forage systems, focusing on their effects on soil fertility, pasture resilience, and productivity. This tour is for farmers, land managers, and researchers.
