Agroforestry is the intentional integration of trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental, economic, and social benefits. Agroforestry systems use a multi-layer approach to increase biodiversity in forest and agricultural systems. At Northeast Forestry + Design, we offer agroforestry and garden forest design services to clients.
