Forest Farming Site Evaluation Workshop - Jul 2026
By molly@ruralaction.org
📅 15 July 2026 | 📍 Rural Action Forestry Office
Join Rural Action’s Forestry team to learn what conditions to look for when growing non-timber forest products (NTFP’s).
Are you interested in growing edible and medicinal plants on your land? Do you have the right growing conditions on your site?
Learn about native forest botanicals, their preferred site conditions (slope, aspect, moisture, etc.), and indicator plants. We’ll discuss site preparation and cultivation methods, processing considerations, market opportunities, and value-adding options. We’ll also introduce you to some helpful mapping and production estimation tools.
This workshop includes a classroom component and a hands-on field excursion. Please bring water and wear long pants and sturdy shoes.
This event will take place at the Rural Action Forestry Office, address and parking information will be included in the confirmation email.
