The Farm Woodland Forum UK is running an international series of webinars in collaboration with Interlace Commons in the USA and the Irish Agroforestry Forum in Ireland looking at how to solve some common problems in agroforestry around training and knowledge transfer.
The first of the series addresses the use of technology for Agroforestry and features Meghan Giroux (from Interlace Commons) and Kevin Wolz (from Canopy Farm Management and Savannah Institute).
Meghan Giroux
Is an agroforestry practitioner, service provider, and researcher with two decades of experience growing perennial crops in agricultural and nursery settings. Meghan is the Executive Director of Interlace Commons, an agroforestry education and research group in the northeastern United States. Through Interlace Agroforestry Farm LLC, and with funding support from the USDA and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, Meghan is developing a sixty-acre demonstration site that showcases ancient and modern forms of agroforestry, including the five USDA-defined practices. She is the co-author of two forthcoming manuals on agroforestry. She has served as a visiting lecturer at Yale School of the Environment, where she taught the science and practice of temperate agroforestry. Meghan is dedicated to utilizing her background in natural resource management to help land stewards protect and enhance ecosystem function, increase biodiversity, and identify ways to improve land-based livelihood strategies.
Kevin Wolz
Is the CEO of Canopy Farm Management, a business launched by the Savanna Institute to expand agroforestry services in the Midwest USA. Kevin was the founding Chair of the Savanna Institute’s Board of Directors and served as its co-Executive Director until 2022. He continues his contributions to the Savanna Institute’s mission as its Lead Scientist. Kevin’s background has blended biology, agroecology, and engineering, with a focus spanning a wide range of methods and applications – from biogeochemical cycling and ecological monitoring to biophysical modelling and economic analyses. He enjoys experimenting and learning on his own two agroforestry farms on long-term-leased land in Champaign County, IL.

Find out what the Soil Association discovered during an eighteen-month Whole Farm Tree Plan project funded via the Forestry Commission. We assessed treescapes on 30 farms around the UK to discover the value they hold, and look at ways to enhance their management through woodland creation and agroforestry.
