Agroforestry: How trees can benefit your farm

Agroforestry is a farming approach that combines trees with agriculture. Both arable and livestock farmers can practice it; in arable systems, trees are often planted between crop rows, while in livestock farming it is known as silvopasture - where animals graze beneath trees. The term also covers features like hedgerows, buffer strips and forest farming.

Join the Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN), in partnership with Lost Woods, for this on-farm event in the beautiful South Downs.

Sullington Manor Farm is located in the village of Sullington and is a traditional working beef and arable farm on 500 acres in the heart of the picturesque South Downs National Park. The owners have worked with nature for over thirty years with a long-term commitment to the sustainability of the landscape.

Lost Woods is bringing local people together to learn about, explore, and care for woods across the Low Weald and Downs. The project aims to reconnect us with our ancient woodlands through restoration and protection.

Lunch will be provided.
