Ask An Agroforester - Youth Engagement

Dana Beegle and Ryan Huish lead us on a deep discussion hosted by ASD's Emilie Tweardy about how to get young people involved in agroforestry, and keep them coming back for more. If you’re working with youth, this is a great resource! About Dana Beegle Dana Beegle is a mother, educator, and practicing agroforester from Floyd County, Virginia. She owns and operates Stone Root Farm with her husband and children where they specialize in silvopasture-raised beef and forest farmed shiitake mushrooms and ramps. She has a master’s degree in Agroforestry from Virginia Tech, where she developed the Tree Selection Guide for Mid-Atlantic Silvopastures. Dana is also a former high school teacher and passionate about educating the next generation of agroforesters. She has worked with local high school agriculture programs and student groups at Virginia Tech to create hands-on, agroforestry-based service learning opportunities on her farm. About Ryan Huish Ryan Huish is an ethnobotanist and associate professor of biology at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise, deep in the Appalachians of far southwest Virginia. With a background in botany and sociocultural anthropology, his research interests incorporate an interdisciplinary approach to address basic and applied questions in ethnobotany, ecology, plant conservation, and the preservation of biocultural knowledge. Some of his research topics include Appalachian ethnobotany, native food plants, and forest farming of medicinal/edible plants. He and his family are stewards of Appalachian Cove Forest Farm and Homestead where they practice and demonstrate various agroforestry principles, including silvopasture, alley cropping, forest farming, multifunctional riparian buffer zones, and native plant agriculture.
