Agroforestry Practices Supported

Working Woods at the Holden Arboretum is a 67-acre, nationally recognized, publicly accessible demonstration site, combining research and public education to increase understanding of and to promote best practices in forest management. The site is a part of the Holden Arboretum. While timber management treatments exist at the center of the site, the edges of Working Woods present an opportunity to use agroforestry to demonstrate non-timber forest product cultivation. We have used the ecosystems at Working Woods to demonstrate everything from growing mushrooms on logs, to tapping trees for maple syrup, to cultivating medicinal plants. As of 2025, there are active demonstrations of a small multi-functional riparian buffer, wild-cultivated medicinal herbs, wild-stewarded ramps, and shiitake mushrooms on hardwood logs.
