Small forest landowners often have limited options when it comes to managing their woodlot or generating income to pay for forest management activities. Forest farming is an agroforestry practice that can provide landowners with options where traditional forestry practices like timber harvesting are not feasible.

The Catskill Forest Association (CFA) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote forest stewardship by providing forestry education and services to private landowners in the Catskill region.

As Education Forester for the Catskill Forest Association, Zahra Bellucci assists with field programs, provides consultations, contributes articles to the CFA News, and works to develop the forestry education services, social media content, and events offered by CFA. Prior to forestry, she spent several years living in the Catskill and Hudson Valley regions working in small-scale agriculture.

This event is hosted by Mountain Top Arboretum. Mountain Top Arboretum is a public garden in the Catskill Mountains dedicated to displaying and managing native plant communities of the northeastern US, in addition to curating its collection of cold-hardy native and exotic trees.
