Virtual Lyceum: Intro to Agroforestry, Theory and Practice

The Grange turns INSIDE / OUT this fall to provide movies, lectures, music and more via Zoom and other digital platforms. To help keep everyone healthy, we’ll be presenting great programs that you can be part of wherever you are.

Virtual Lyceum lecture #5: This program explores the intersectionality of two traditionally siloed practices, agriculture, and forestry, and the social and cultural history, functionality, design, and strategies of agroforestry practices. Presenter Meghan Giroux, MSc., Agroforestry, is an agricultural land use planner, researcher, practitioner and nurserywoman helping landowners protect and improve ecosystem function, increase biodiversity and identify ways to enhance livelihoods . Interlace Agroforestry Farm, LLC. operates a developing 60-acre site in Whallonsburg, New York, designed to demonstrate the usefulness of agroforestry land-use practices. 

The Virtual Lyceum series is made possible through the generous support of the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation.

The Fall Lyceum lectures will be presented via Zoom. You can access them through your computer, smartphone, or by dialing in on a regular phone (audio only). You must register IN ADVANCE so we can email you the Zoom link. You can register for the entire series or for an individual lecture. We will record the lectures and make them available later if you can’t watch them live. Click on the button below to register.

There is no charge for the lectures. Your donation to support the Grange and our programs is greatly appreciated. Please go to the DONATE page to make a contribution. Thanks!
