The Bennington County Conservation District has had the privilege of working with the good folks at the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund and Eric Toensmeier to help bring this comprehensive Agroforestry Species Guide tailored to Vermont farmers to our community. If you've ever interacted with BCCD staff, you know we love agroforestry around here, and we're incredibly excited to bring this information to you. A big thank you to all the Vermont Farm to Plate Agroforestry team members and Eric for all the hard work that went into this guide!
