Agroforestry can be an effective method to revitalize the soil and improve land productivity, when your land has become worn down due to repeated exposure to rotational crops or livestock. Agroforestry is a land management practice that integrates trees, shrubs and other perennial plants with agricultural or livestock systems, thereby offering numerous environmental and economic benefits. Agroforestry approaches ecosystem health with a holistic viewpoint compared to that of the traditional crop-centric practices. The various types of agroforestry techniques can help improve soil health and water management, provide erosion control and create microclimate regulation, as well as increase biodiversity and economic diversification. Join our Agroforestry Specialist, Winston Gamache, and Technician, Teresa Kozakewich, who will present on the basics and cultivation of agroforestry, and take questions on January 7, 2025, at 7:00pm. Additional information will be provided on how AWES can use the 2 Billion Tree Program to help fund and implement planting projects on your land!
Access to the webinar will be provided by link, upon the completion of your registration. Please plan to enter 5-10 minutes before the webinar starts, in case you experience technical difficulties.
The webinar will consist of 60 to 90 minute instructional content, followed by a question period with the event ending at 9:00pm.
