Dear Readers:
Spring in all her glory has arrived in Nebraska, which, of course, means
it's notebook time! I am helping Bruce Wight and Rich Straight at the
National Agroforestry Center, www.unl.edu/nac, prepare a resource notebook
for the 1890 Land-Grant Universities Agroforestry Conference from June 13 to
15, 2000, at Alabama A & M University. The specifics are listed below.
We are looking for show stopping teaching materials for these agroforestry
practices; silvopasture, forest farming, and riparian buffers. Have you put
together a course, presentation, or hands-on exercise? Has your local Soil
and Water Conservation District developed a great factsheet? Do you know
farmers who are using these practices? Trees don't worry about state
borders, and you shouldn't either. If you know of engaging educational
materials in agroforestry, contact us. Thank you for your help.
Please send your ideas, suggestions, or materials to:
