DESCRIPTION:Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County in conjunction with the Cornell Small Farms Program will be offering a hands-on workshop on Air Pruned Raised Beds (APRBs). APRBs offer an innovative, scalable approach to tree seedling propagation. By naturally pruning roots through air exposure, this system produces seedlings with stronger root architecture, higher transplant success, and the ability to grow large volumes of bare-root stock in a small footprint—no land ownership required. APRBs are adaptable to both urban and rural contexts and support high-density seedling production for a wide range of species.Participants will learn how to harvest seedlings from an APRB, how to overwinter beds with or without seedlings, how to plant baby trees, strategies for seed collection and storage, and markets and regulations. We can also briefly review topics from the first workshop (construction of APRBs, growing media, species selection, seed collection, preservation, germination, and potential markets). Requirements for selling nursery stock in NYS will also be addressed. This workshop is ideal for producers seeking to diversify into a new, efficient tree seedling production system.The session will be led by Connor Youngerman, Agroforestry lead with the Cornell Small Farms Program.There is no charge for the workshop, however pre-registration is required, as participation is capped at 25 people
