LEARN ABOUT AGROFORESTRY & FOREST FARMING…
during Fall Semester WORK PARTIES at Cornell's MacDaniels Nut Grove

THURSDAYS
Sept 26, Oct 10, Oct 17, Nov 7

4:30pm - 7pm

The MacDaniels Nut Grove is a forest farming and agroforestry research and education center located in the Cornell Plantations Upper Cascadilla Natural Area. The 5-acre site, just east of Cornell Orchards, was originally planted in the 1930s by pioneering horticulturist Dr. L.H. MacDaniels (1888-1986). Neglected for decades, researchers and students began renovating the site and establishing new research projects since 2002. The site currently boasts demonstrations of a wide range of crops that can be grown in the forest, including mushrooms, wild leeks, ginseng, ornamental plants, nuts, and fruits like paw paw.

In addition to conducting agroforestry research at Cornell,Steve and Ken are co-authoring a book on the subject, see www.FarmingTheWoods.com.
