A two-week, intensive training held in Washington State, hosted by farmer, educator, and founder of the Friends of the Trees Society, Michael Pilarski. Michael will take you on a tour visiting some of the best agroforestry sites in the Pacific Northwest; including Feral Farm, Blue Heron Farm & Nursery, Wild Thyme Farm, The Bullock Brothers Homestead, Burnt Ridge Nursery, and various arboretums to talk with the people who run them.
This event includes classroom time with power point presentations featuring agroforestry sites worldwide. Attendees have a choice of taking the entire two-week course or attend various portions of it. During this event, filming of the course will take place to create an on-line version for future students, in addition to sharing the information worldwide.
Agroforestry has the potential to reduce monocultures, regenerate abused farmland, feed the people,
conserve biodiversity and sequester excess atmospheric carbon.
Agroforestry is the solution to many of the world’s problems.
