SUMMARY:BF 235: Silvopasture course
DESCRIPTION:Register \nWednesdays\, from  from January 14 – February 18\n6:30 – 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nFull event details \nJoin Guild member Eli Roberts to learn to Integrate Trees\, Livestock\, and Forage for Multiple Wins on Your Farm. \nThere are many ways of combining trees\, forage\, and animals in useful\, efficient\, practical\, and profitable arrangements. But none of these outcomes is guaranteed\, and there are a lot of decisions required! When you take this course\, you’ll be able to describe\, plan for\, and evaluate particular silvopasture practices and understand their place in the broader categories of Silvopasture and Agroforestry. You’ll also understand the potential pitfalls that differentiate good silvopasture from poor land management. You’ll leave with the tools to create silvopasture plans for your farm\, and to engage with the topic of silvopasture as a practitioner and experimenter. \nCourse Objectives\nBy the end of this course\, you will be able to: \n\nPlan a silvopasture project of your own\, and understand how your plan relates to other silvopastures\, and how it fits into the larger category of practices that involve trees on farms.\nArticulate goals\, clarify functions\, plan layout and species\, and choose implementation methods.\nUnderstand the guardrails of silvopasture practice\, and have the tools to avoid unmanaged forest grazing.\nHave the tools to evaluate and make the decisions that will get you to a functional silvopasture.\n\nThis course is hosted by the Cornell Small Farms Program.

SUMMARY:Guardians and gardeners: Managing wilderness for the twenty-first century
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJanuary 22\, 2026\n2:00 – 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nPlease join us for a presentation and discussion on wilderness in the 21st century. The 1964 Wilderness Act provides robust protections to landscapes designated as federal wilderness. The National Wilderness Preservation System\, which includes 806 wilderness areas and 111 million acres\, represents the world’s largest highly protected conservation network. However\, a long-standing ethos of nonmanagement—exemplified by the philosophy that managers should be guardians but not gardeners—obscures long legacies of Indigenous stewardship and may not sustain essential wilderness values in a time of unprecedented ecological stressors. Many wildernesses are increasingly subject to complex and compounding unintentional (as well as intentional) human influences. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Boerigter will present how a guardians and gardeners approach would acknowledge Indigenous influence\, recognize contemporary and future environmental challenges\, and provide managers the necessary rationale to respond to these complex realities. In the twenty-first century\, it may be necessary to carefully\, thoughtfully\, and compassionately reimagine the dominant wilderness philosophy.
