Plans Set for Inaugural Mid-Atlantic Agroforestry Conference

The Penn State Extension Forestry and Wildlife Team, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry, and Pasa Sustainable Agriculture, plans to host the inaugural Mid-Atlantic Agroforestry Conference focusing on Forest Farming and Multifunctional Buffers June 4–5, 2026, in Pennsylvania Furnace. This in-person event will give agroforesters, forest landowners, new and beginning farmers, and conservation professionals insight into the state of agroforestry, products and marketing approaches, and case studies from practitioners. The two-day event will have a variety of programs, with a mixture of presentations, panels, tours, workshops, and networking opportunities, designed to build connections across the agroforestry networks and build on knowledge to expand accessibility, productivity, and sustainability.
