Valley Clayplain Forest Farm Hedgerow Walk - New Haven

Past event
Sep 1, 2021, 5:30 to 6:30 PM

Mark Krawczyk and Ammy Martinez manage Valley Clayplain Forest Farm - a diversified agroforestry-based small farm and homestead in New Haven. They've planted thousands of trees on their property over the past 9 years in a number of productive and conservation-minded configurations. Join us for an hour long tour of a 1000' long shelterbelt/hedgerow that includes more than 50 different tree and shrub species. Learn about plant establishment, species selection and communities, patterning and layout and how these types of installations provide wind protection, visual screening, protection and habitat for birds and small mammals and help connect patches of otherwise fragmented habitat. This event is hosted in partnership with the New Haven Conservation Commission. For more information write us at valleyclayplain@gmail.com
