Forum on Social Agroforestry
Friday, February 20th 2026 from 10am to 3pm
presented by MYCENA Agroforestry Initiative - MycenaTrees.org
Cultivating an agriculture that meaningfully feeds people and the earth can’t depend on idealistic volunteers or individualistic entrepreneurs. An abundant agroforestry requires a social economy that authentically supports people who are passionate about trees and ready to commit decades to them. Agroforestry needs a coordinated action plan and economics that fairly sustain the tree growers and tree planters.
Instead of thinking of agroforestry as only a farming enterprise for tree crops, can we treat it more like a social movement?
Join us on Friday, February 20th for a virtual forum to explore these ideas and participate in reflection and conversation.
100% of registration fees will be matched 1:1 and flow directly to the nurseries growing the trees and the farmers who will plant, care for, and steward them in 2026—and for decades to come. Registration is offered with a suggested donation of $10 to $50. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Sessions will be recorded and provided for registered participants.
Mycena Agroforestry Initiative is a newly formed non-profit. Like the mycelial threads connecting the trees and soil in a forest, we focus on encouraging better connectivity between people and organizations, fostering the social mechanisms necessary for long term success.
