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.
