About this event
The Appalachian Beginning Forest Farmer Coalition (ABFFC) and partners have joined forces to put together this special webinar series for intermediate and experienced forest farmers* who want to learn more about common non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and expand their understanding of forest farming practices.
Each webinar in this series will bring together our best experts in the field, experienced forest farmers, and learning resources. Together we will explore common NTFP species and topics in-depth, as well as engage in discussions with experienced forest farmers with years of specialized expertise.
The second webinar in the series is:
"Digging deeper into ramp forest farming"
Eric Burkhart of Penn State University
Steve Schwartz of Delaware Valley Ramps
In this webinar, Dr. Burkhart will provide the latest research updates on ramp forest farming site selection, nutritional/medicinal properties, and sustainable husbandry and harvest methods.
He will also be joined for the second half of the webinar by forest farmer Steve Schwartz (Delaware Valley Ramps, Equinunk PA) for a lively discussion.
Hosted on Zoom, the webinar will take place live at 6:00 PM EST on February 24, 2022.
*While these webinars are more in-depth than most of our beginner level website resources, we invite beginner forest farmers, and those who are less familiar with these species to review our NTFP modules to learn about the basics prior to our webinars. Each module will include videos or playlists, publications and articles that would be helpful in bringing a beginner up-to-speed for these in-depth discussions. These modules are on our ABFFC website at https://www.appalachianforestfarmers.org/forestfocus
