Virtual Agroforestry Training
August 27, 2024
11:00am-03:00pm
In partnership with the USDA Forest Service National Agroforestry Center, NACD is excited to debut virtual agroforestry training sessions for conservation districts and partners! Demand for trained agroforesters is expected to increase as agroforestry-related Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities projects and Inflation Reduction Act-funded projects are implemented. An upcoming virtual regional training will introduce agroforestry and provide an educational foundation to help conservation districts and partners provide agroforestry technical assistance to landowners.
The virtual training will include an overview of geographically relevant agroforestry practices, soil and water conservation and management, funding opportunities and federal program navigation, and planning and design considerations. It is designed for conservation districts and their partners and will include case study examples on incorporating agroforestry into existing conservation district program offerings. The training will also include navigation of state and federal programs to support land managers in accessing agroforestry financial assistance.
