ORFC is returning to Wakelyns for two days packed full of practical workshops looking at tree management, including fruit and nut trees, and coppicing, pollarding, and pruning exploring the practice of silvohorticulture, the integration of trees into vegetable growing systems, and learning about the latest research on soil health in agroforestry systems with Rothamsted Research.
These two days of hands-on workshops will provide you with the skills to integrate agroforestry into your farm practice at different scales, as well as the opportunity to meet inspiring practitioners and explore all the facets of Wakelyns’ stacked enterprise system. We look forward to seeing you there!
