Appalachian Sustainable Development’s  “Ask an Agroforester” Webinar Series is an opportunity for us to come together for a deep dive into detailed information about specific Agroforestry topics.  Host Emilie Tweardy stewards deep conversations on emerging topics and perennial favorites. Bring your questions for our regional Agroforestry heroes, and have an opportunity to get real answers from real professionals.  We’ve got a great lineup put together for you, free of charge.  Please consider making a donation to ASD to support continued free programming like this!

These events are online only.  Webinar links will be emailed to registrants the week before the event, with reminders the day before.  Registration for each webinar closes at 10AM the previous day.  All webinars will be recorded and posted to ASD’s Youtube channel for your viewing convenience.

Each webinar will consist of a welcome and intro from ASD and a short presentation from the presenter, followed by a 2-part Q and A.  The first half will consist of questions collected ahead of time, the 2nd half of the Q and A will be live audience questions.

Lineup is subject to slight change, stay tuned for details on featured guests.
