Joe Orefice replied to Scott Johnson's discussion Examples of Silvopasture in Public Areas Needed

Joe Orefice replied to Brett Chedzoy's discussion What is Silvopasturing?
"They called it "silvo-pasture" at the 2016 "World Congress Silvo-Pastoral Systems". Just to bring in an international thought to this conversation. "

Joe Orefice replied to Brett Chedzoy's discussion What is Silvopasturing?
