Working Trees: Silvopasture
Various planning, establishment, and management considerations are detailed with examples from the Southeastern United States. (6 pages)
Silvopasture
Silvopasture combines trees with forage and livestock production. The trees are managed for high-value sawlogs and, at the same time, provide shade and shelter for livestock and forage, reducing stress and sometimes increasing forage production. In plantations of conifers or hardwoods for timber or Christmas trees, managed grazing provides added products and income. Some nut and fruit orchards may also be grazed.
