Silvopasture & Hedgerows: Designing with the Climate

Join us at Meach Cove Farms for a site assessment, planning and design workshop considering silvopasture in the field and considering how new woody plantings can be introduced. This workshop covers multi functions and co-benefits of climate smart grazing including:

• Diversifying perennial plantings in pastures,
• Providing shade for livestock,
• Improving forage quality and in situ fodder,
• Reducing soil and wind erosion and improving soil health,
• Sequestering carbon

This workshop will cover design considerations, layout and spacing of plantings and species selection. Establishing woody perennial plantings as a conservation practice for livestock farms integrates biodiversity, climate mitigation, healthy livestock management, and improved soil quality.
