SUMMARY:Forest Farming: Ecological and Legal Considerations for Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this free workshop on working with rare\, high-value plants\, including ginseng and goldenseal. \n\n\nForest farming offers an exciting strategy for cultivating high-value herbs within a natural forest setting. However\, some of these herb species are very rare in our state. These rare species are protected by state law\, adding complications for growers. \nJoin us for a workshop covering important ecological and legal considerations for forest farming of native medicinal herbs in Connecticut. This workshop will focus on two of the highest-value\, rare native herbs: American ginseng and goldenseal. We will discuss the basics of forest farming and delve into the details of working with these sensitive species. This is a free\, 3-hour event including a classroom presentation followed by a field walk\, but we ask that attendees please reserve a spot by clicking here. \n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of CT NOFA’s Equipment Share Program and is FREE to attend thanks to funding from the Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).
