Experienced Agroforestry Land Worker Seeks 1 Acre+ Across SW
Meet Karina, a landworker with a range of experience in agroforestry, conservation, forestry, woodlands and social forestry. They have a BSc Environmental Science & MSc Environmental Forestry along with a whole host of consultancy, project management and advisory work in the field and now Karina is looking for one or more acres to begin their own project. Their vision is to develop an agroforestry system and forest garden producing perennial vegetables, specialist woody plants such as herbs, shrubs and fruit trees, seed production and a community tree nursery with a commercial output.
Karina would need a minimum of one acre of fairly flat or slightly sloping south facing land with the opportunity to expand on a secure site. They would need a water supply, good access for community visits and deliveries and the use of a polytunnel or permission to install one, ideally there will be a place for tool storage as well. On the wish list is a space to run workshops with the associated parking and access for visitors, a peri-urban location and the possibility to live on site or nearby.
This opportunity would suit a landowner who is familiar with agroforestry systems or is already considering this approach on their land. They would need to be supportive of a start-up enterprise while also benefiting from Karina’s technical expertise.
