SUMMARY:Silvopasture Forest Conversion Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 3\, 2026\, 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM in Acra\, NY \nSilvopasture is an Agroforestry Practice of integrating trees\, forage\, and rotationally grazed livestock into one system. This can involve planting trees in pasture\, or thinning trees in the woods and establishing grasses. \nJoin Cornell Cooperative Extension Columbia-Greene\, Ulster County educators\, along with forester Jeff Jourdain\, for a full day of Converting Forest to Silvopasture at the Agroforestry Resource Center. The workshop will have a Forest to Silvopasture focus and topics to be discussed include: planning\, equipment\, follow-through\, and economics to thinning your woods. In the afternoon\, we plan to head across the street to Siuslaw Model Forest\, where we can identify and discuss site selection and assessment. Along the way\, educators will discuss managing livestock\, species selection\, benefits\, and what resources are available. This workshop is for farmers\, landowners\, and service providers who are practicing Silvopasture in the forest or are interested in applying or teaching these concepts.
