BRANCHING OUT

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 / TIMBER
Planting rows of timber trees can have high-value at harvest
04 / TREE CROPS
Certain trees can yield crops that add to on farm revenue streams
