SUMMARY:Pruning Woody Plants
DESCRIPTION:Pruning is the intentional removal of dead or overgrown stems and branches\, which increases a plant’s overall health and productivity. We want to ensure that landowners are equipped with the best skillsets for pruning\, since trees and shrubs are an essential part of agroforestry\, and their development can take several years to decades to establish. With the spring rapidly approaching\, your plants may be in need of a trim after their winter slumber. \nOn March 13\, 2025\, at 7:00pm\, join our Agroforestry Specialist\, Winston Gamache\, as he walks you through the best times of the year to prune\, the techniques used to ‘trim’ your plants and to answer any remaining questions you may have. Additional information will be provided on how AWES can use the 2 Billion Tree Program to help fund and implement planting projects on your land! \nAccess to the webinar will be provided upon the completion of your registration. Please plan to enter 5-10 minutes before the webinar starts\, in case you experience technical difficulties. \nThe webinar will consist of 60-90 minutes of instructional content\, followed by a question period with the event ending at 9:00pm. \nRegister here: Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Agroforestry Basics & Cultivation Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Agroforestry can be an effective method to revitalize the soil and improve land productivity\, when your land has become worn down due to repeated exposure to rotational crops or livestock. Agroforestry is a land management practice that integrates trees\, shrubs and other perennial plants with agricultural or livestock systems\, thereby offering numerous environmental and economic benefits. Agroforestry approaches ecosystem health with a holistic viewpoint compared to that of the traditional crop-centric practices. The various types of agroforestry techniques can help improve soil health and water management\, provide erosion control and create microclimate regulation\, as well as increase biodiversity and economic diversification. Join our Agroforestry Specialist\, Winston Gamache\, and Technician\, Teresa Kozakewich\, who will present on the basics and cultivation of agroforestry\, and take questions on January 7\, 2025\, at 7:00pm. Additional information will be provided on how AWES can use the 2 Billion Tree Program to help fund and implement planting projects on your land! \nAccess to the webinar will be provided by link\, upon the completion of your registration. Please plan to enter 5-10 minutes before the webinar starts\, in case you experience technical difficulties. \nThe webinar will consist of 60 to 90 minute instructional content\, followed by a question period with the event ending at 9:00pm.
