Silvopasture is a type of agroforestry system that integrates trees, forage, and livestock under a common management unit. The scope and potential of silvopastures to mitigate heat stress in the southeastern United States are significant, given the region's warm and humid climatic conditions along with the extended growing season.

A collaborative publication reporting animal welfare data from silvopastures in Virginia and the potential for silvopastures in North Carolina was recently published. We invite you to review the information in Extension publication AG-977.
