Silvopasture (integrating trees, livestock, and forage) is gaining traction across the Northeast as a synergistic production system that can benefit land, livestock and farmers. But what can be said about its role in capturing and storing carbon? Cornell experts will share three increasingly common examples of silvopasture in New York and discuss their contributions to reducing atmospheric carbon.

With Brett Chedzoy, forester with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schuyler County working regionally on forestry, agroforestry and grazing education and with over 30 years experience in silvopasture on Angus Glen Farm, and Steve Gabriel, extension specialist with the Cornell Small Farms Program and a farmer at Wellspring Forest Farm utilizing silvopasture for sheep and ducks. He authored Silvopasture which was released in 2019.

Presented by the Cornell Extension Agroforestry Program Work Team, co-chaired by Steve Gabriel of the Cornell Small Farms Program and Tracey Testo of the Greene County Agroforestry Center.

Webinars are recorded and posted to the Cornell Agroforestry website alongside our current video, print, and web resources, all of which can be found at the agroforestry team’s webpage, hosting by the Cornell Small Farms Program at: http://CornellAgroforestry.org
