Adding Shade and Food for Pasture Animals
Our program works alongside Appalachian landowners to support revenue diversification by incorporating more trees into your pastureland. Tree planting plans are designed with your management goals in mind, ensuring they will support, and not disrupt, livestock operations.
Successful implementation of tree planting plans can add a myriad of benefits to a livestock operator.
01 / SHADE
Providing additional shade reduces heat and wind stress on livestock
02 / FODDER
Incorporating fodder trees helps reduce livestock feed costs
03 / WILDLIFE
More edge habitat provides additional refuge areas for wildlife like deer, song birds, and turkey.
04 / WATER Quality
Incorporating row plantings near waterways reduces erosion and improve water quality for livestock.
