2026 Temperate Silvopasture Symposium

Wednesday, May 27, 2026, 9:00 am until 4:30 pm
Repeats until Friday, May 29, 9:00 am until 4:30 pm
Rodale Institute, Kutztown, PA.

Join us for three days of science, farm tours, and in-depth conversation about temperate silvopasture at the Rodale Institute in Kutztown, PA.
This symposium brings together researchers, farmers, and advocates to share what's working, what's not, and what's next. You'll leave with a clearer picture of silvopasture science, practical strategies you can apply in your own projects, and connections to a growing network of practitioners.
What to expect: field tours of working silvopasture systems, conference-style presentations from leading experts, and moderated discussions focused on advancing adoption in temperate regions.
