Event season is here!
It’s our favorite time of year at the Savanna Institute when we get to join our community for field days at agroforestry demonstration farms throughout the Midwest. Join us at an upcoming event to sample berries from our demonstration and partner farms, see windbreaks alive with wildlife, and feel the summer shade of native timber trees alley cropped with corn. Check out these upcoming events in Wisconsin and Illinois to experience agroforestry on a local farm.
