Community Crops Hosting Tree Planting Workshop
Nebraska Ag Connection - 04/26/2017
Community Crops announced a tree planting and agroforestry workshop with the USDA National Agroforestry Center and the Lower Platte South NRD on May 6 from 1 to 4;30 p.m. The workshop will take place at the Community Crops Training Farm at
Prairie Pines (112th and Adams).
During the workshop we will be planting a 1/2 acre with over 150 edible trees and shrubs that are well-adapted to our region.
Participants in this workshop can expect to learn about:
- Benefits of agroforestry systems
- Agroforestry design and planning
- Site and species selection
- Planting techniques (including the use of a mechanical transplanter)
- How to protect your planting from browsing damage
- Programs available through your local NRD to obtain low-cost plant material
Most importantly everyone will get a chance to plant something.
Registration is required and the cost to attend is $5.
