(Ailis C, SFL)Silvopasture is a land-management system that simultaneously focuses on the sustainable and integrated production of trees, forage, and livestock.

Past generations of farmers, woodland owners, and foresters had concerns about using woodlands for grazing. As described below, those previous concerns can be circumvented, and silvopasture can be a positive tool for forest health, soil health, and carbon sequestration.
