Forest Farming and Gardening in the Fingerlakes

  • Thursday, August 21, 2025, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Participants will learn about Food Forests and Forest Farming. We will look at and discuss the multiple layers of the system from herbs to shrubs and tree species and the interactions and relationships between the ecosystem and the land stewards. We will review the history of the site, and how it was designed and implemented.
