🌳🌻August agroforestry events in and around Philly

[Marie Hathaway]

Planting trees on farms is a climate-smart practice that diversifies ecosystems and income streams to support healthy landscapes and viable businesses. Join Pasa for one (or both!) of our upcoming field days at farms with newly planted alley cropping systems. Alley cropping is an agroforestry practice of growing annual or perennial crops between rows of trees.
