Planning an agroforestry system: on-farm visit
Tuesday 29 March, 12.30–4.30pm
In-person event, Peebles
Join Matt Griffin, his team and other members of the RISS Agroforestry group, in a visit to Edston Farm. Here, designs to bring to life an agroforestry system which will bring trees into the farm are already under way.
This will be a chance to meet with other farmers, crofters and/or landowners to connect and discuss agroforestry in person; and share knowledge and support each other in the development of on-farm designs/plans.
On a practical level, you will have the opportunity to visit Edston Farm's designated tree planting areas, learn about and discuss Matt's agroforestry plan and design, and share any plans or ideas you have about planting trees in your own land.
FREE and open to crofters, farmers, land managers and foresters. Booking is required.

The funding is being made available through the Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund (KTIF) – which is funded by the Scottish Government – and co-funding from Scottish Forestry.
