Why Try Silvopasture?

Silvopasture blends trees and pasture to boost resilience. Trees offer shade, improve forage, protect soil, and support wildlife, making your farm more productive and foster higher biodiversity.


Use what you Already have or Build from Scratch

Thin existing woodlands to let light in and establish forage. Or plant trees strategically in open pasture, use rows, clusters, or orchard-style.


Match Animals to your Land

Choose livestock carefully: cows, sheep, goats, poultry, pigs. Rotate grazing to avoid overgrazing, soil compaction, or bark stripping.


Plan Thoughtfully

Integrate trees and livestock gradually. Start small and adjust as you go.


Use Fast-Growing Tree Species

Pines, locust, alder, willow, and poplar grow quickly and protect young forage.


Balance Shade and Forage for Wildlife and Livestock

Ensure enough light reaches the ground for healthy pasture.
