Agroforestry Farm Tour: Forest Farming at Warren Wilson College
September 11 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us for a tour of Warren Wilson College’s campus, where we will explore the Guaranteed From Seed Project and the college’s campus forestry practices.
The tour will feature a visit to a 3,000 square foot shade house where Dr. Dave Ellum and his students have developed innovative seed propagation methods for forest medicinal plants that are often overharvested from the wild. The “Guaranteed From Seed—Never Wild Harvested” project aims to educate the public on how a sustainable, seed-based nursery industry can support the conservation of wild populations of native forest botanicals.
Additionally, attendees will gain insights into the management practices employed on the college’s 600-acre campus forest, including a syruping operation and silvopasture.
