We are fortunate enough to be included in the annual Agroforestry Weekend which takes place over the 16-18th May. This year there will be one tour running on Friday 16th May, starting at 10am at the Green Table on the Dartington Estate.

This year the tour will be conducted by Fletcher Coney who is a Mid Devon farmer and a tutors on our Regenerative Agriculture course. He will be providing a fascinating perspective on Agroforestry from a farming perspective.

The Agroforestry Open Weekend is coordinated by David Wolfe (Wakelyns) and Rosemary Venn (Coventry University). 

Farmers across the UK, Ireland and beyond, already practising agroforestry in some form, will be opening their gates to the public over 17-20 May weekend. As an annual, grassroots, farmer-led initiative this is an opportunity to share best (and worst!) practices, lessons from the field and discuss some of the challenges and opportunities of integrating trees into the farmed landscape first hand. 

If you’re intrigued about this system and want to see it in action, then come along to a farm near you for the Agroforestry Open Weekend.
