SUMMARY:Agroforestry Workshop: Introducing Forest Farming and Silvopas
 ture to the Small Farms Community
DESCRIPTION:Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Oswego County will 
 be hosting a free online workshop through Zoom on Wednesday, November 
 10th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. This workshop will explore some of the diff
 erent ways the small farms community can develop greater resilience by
  adopting agroforestry practices. This workshop will give a broad over
 view of agroforestry with special attention focusing on forest farming
  and silvopasture. \nForest Farming is the cultivation of high-value,
  non-timber forest products under the protection of a forest canopy. S
 ome of the forest products that will be highlighted will be: maple & w
 alnut syrup, rasberries & blackberries, pawpaw, shitake & lions mane m
 ushrooms, nut trees (walnut, hickory, pecan, hazelnut) and medicinal c
 rops like Amercian ginseng, cohosh and goldenseal. Silvopasture is the
  integration of livestock, forages and trees into existing woodlots or
  by bringing trees into pasture settings. Grazing livestock under tre
 e cover not only reduces animal heat stress during the summer months, 
 it also allows livestock producers to grow wood or other agricultural 
 products as an additional source of income. Agroforestry practices li
 ke forest farming and silvopasture attempt to stack multiple enterpris
 es on the same piece of land. Not only can this increase and diversify
  farm revenue, it can also lead to greater farm resilience. \nThis on
 line workshop is open to all members of the general public, including 
 those interested in learning about agriculture, new/beginning farmers 
 or longstanding agricultural producers looking to make a change or add
  something new to their farm. Guest speakers will be Professor Emeritu
 s Dr. Kenneth Mudge, from the School of Integrative Plant Science at C
 ornell University, and Brett Chedozy, Senior Resource Educator in Agri
 culture and Natural Resources at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schu
 yler County. To register please to go: reg.cce.cornell.edu/agroforest
