Rewilding and Regenerating Farm Ecosystems Webinar with Peter Allen and Neal Spackman

Published: Mon, 12/12/16

Howdy Folks,
   This week's webinar features Peter Allen, the founder of Mastodon Valley Farm in SW Wisconsin.  Peter left a PhD program in ecology to live on Mark Shepard's farm, where he learned the ropes of integrating livestock into silvopasture systems.  

I was fortunate to visit Peter and his wife Maureen at Mastodon Valley earlier this year, and came away very impressed.  Peter has developed a lot of practical skills --budgeting, planning, marketing, selling, but also running animals and forestry.  On top of that, he is whip smart. ​​​​​​​

    Peter's webinar is on Savannah-based agricultures, and the why and how of integrating tree and grazing systems.  It filled in some of my own knowledge gaps and blew me away when I saw it.  It's going to be good. 

    This will be a great opportunity for those who want to harness the beneficial aspects of wilderness on the farm.​​​​​​​
