Forest Farming with Botanicals

Utilizing forests and woodlots to grow non-timber products can diversify your enterprise and build ecological resilience. Come to the UVM Research Forest to explore the nuances of successfully establishing production-scale forest botanical polycultures. This workshop will cover the role forest farming can play within forest management plans, how to identify and evaluate sites for forest farming potential, and approaches for establishing perennial polycultures to meet existing markets. Together, participants will identify, prepare, and plant a ¼ acre site with botanicals, including ginseng and ramps.
