Forest Farming program planned

Penn State Extension will livestream a program in the Forest Farming Series on Thursday, March 30, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. via Zoom. Forest farming is the production of non-timber forest products in forests to produce edible and medicinal crops for personal use and income.

Titled "Ramps/Wild Leeks," the upcoming program will provide information on the identification, biology, ecology, uses, and importance of the edible plant Allium tricoccum, also known as the ramp or wild leek. Viewers will also learn about wild population stewardship and forest farming approaches, as well as research updates and educational opportunities. The webinar is designed for forest landowners, recreational and commercial foragers, foraged plant consumers, natural resource agency personnel, foresters, land managers, and gardeners.

There is no cost to attend, but registration is required to receive the webinar link. For details and registration, visit http://www.extension.psu.edu and search for "Forest Farming Series: Ramps/Wild Leeks." Registrants will also receive access to the webinar recording.
