NACD Virtual Agroforestry Training
August 27, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
In partnership with the USDA Forest Service National Agroforestry Center, NACD is excited to debut virtual agroforestry training sessions for conservation districts and partners!
Demand for trained agroforesters is expected to increase as agroforestry-related Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities projects and Inflation Reduction Act-funded projects are implemented. Three upcoming virtual regional trainings will introduce agroforestry and provide an educational foundation to help conservation districts and partners provide agroforestry technical assistance to landowners. The three trainings will be held on the following dates.
- August 27, 2024 from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. CT for the North Central, Northern Plains, and South Central Regions | Register here
These virtual trainings will include an overview of geographically relevant agroforestry practices, soil and water conservation and management, funding opportunities and federal program navigation, and planning and design considerations.
The trainings are designed for conservation districts and their partners and will include case study examples on incorporating agroforestry into existing conservation district program offerings. The trainings will also include navigation of state and federal programs to support land managers in accessing agroforestry financial assistance.
Stay tuned for regional in-person trainings planned for later!
