SILVOPASTURE
Silvopasture is an agroforestry practice that integrates livestock,
forage production, and forestry on the same land-management unit.
Silvopasture systems are deliberately designed and managed to produce
a high-value timber product in the long term while providing short-term
annual economic benefit from a livestock component through the management
of forage or an annual crop component.

SECTION 2
WHAT IS
SILVOPASTURE?
Silvopasture is the deliberate integration of trees and grazing
livestock operations on the same land. These systems are intensively
managed for both forest products and forage. Well managed silvopastures
employ agronomic principals, typically including introduced or native
pasture grasses, fertilization and nitrogen-fixing legumes, and rotational
grazing systems that employ short grazing periods which maximize vegetative
plant growth and harvest. Silvopastures are:
• Intentional
The combinations of pastures, trees, and animals are purposefully managed
to provide forage and timber products on a sustained basis. These are not
individual practices that occur coincidentally together or are managed
independently.
• Intensive
Silvopastures are intensively managed to optimize the production of the forest
products and forages. Science based grazing, haying, fertilization, tree pruning
and trimming and other cultural practices are planned in advance to compliment
reforestation, tree protection, market cycles and work load.
• Interactive
The forest management, pasture management, and grazing management are conducted
in harmony so as to enhance the production of multiple harvestable components,
while also providing conservation benefits. The combination of the products
realized usually exceeds the normal yield of either enterprise individually.
• Integrated
The trees, livestock and forage are functionally combined into a single management
unit tailored to meet the landowner’s objectives.
