Soil Health Field Day: Tree and Shrub Establishment

Join CT NOFA for a hands-on workshop on establishing native trees and shrubs on farmland and properties throughout Connecticut. We’ll take a look at planning, planting, and maintenance of trees and shrubs at The Hickories farm over the years. Demonstrations will include site selection, soil preparation, and sourcing of appropriate plant material for specific locations.

The workshop includes support from experienced growers with a focus on native woody trees and shrubs; hazelnut, inkberry, winterberry, witch hazel, viburnums, pussy willow, and black willow, as well as ecotypic pollinators.

This workshop is presented by CT NOFA in partnership with The Hickories and Eco59 (formally CT NOFA’s Ecotype Project), an initiative for best practices around finding the most appropriate plant materials that support our natural environment.

AOLCPs from CT NOFA’s Organic Land Care Program will earn CEUs for attending this field day, and may do so for free. Email us for a discount code before registering.
