Bennington County Conservation District (BCCD) hosted an Intensive Silvopasture Workshop on Tuesday, August 5 at Horned Lark Farm. Participants heard from Michael Fernandez, District Manager of BCCD about how silvopasture can work for their farm and the potential funding options available including the Bennington County Local Fund Pool. Attendees also heard from Noah Simon from Breadtree Farms. Noah discussed factors to consider when planting trees in a silvopasture, including site location, and types of livestock you’ll be grazing.
This workshop was presented in partnership with USDA NRCS and Breadtree Farms.
