Working Trees Brochures Available

The USDA National Agroforestry Center’s (NAC) popular series of Working Trees brochures provides readers with a great introduction to agroforestry.  Trees improve water quality, control soil erosion, increase agricultural production, improve air quality, and provide wildlife habitat.  These color publications illustrate various agroforestry practices that landowners can apply to help meet their conservation and production goals.  NAC recently released a completely revised Working Trees for Wildlife publication.  In early 2008, revised versions of the Working Trees for Agriculture  and Working Trees for Water Quality brochures will also be released.  A new Working Trees publication, Working Trees for Silvopasture, is planned for the Spring of 2008. Thousands of these publications have been distributed by conservation partners to increase landowner awareness of agroforestry.  To request free copies of any of the Working Trees brochures or other agroforestry publications, visit the NAC’s Website.
