> The MacDaniels Nut Grove is a forest farming and agroforestry research and education center located in the Cornell Plantations Upper Cascadilla Natural Area. The 5-acre site, just east of Cornell Orchards, was originally planted in the 1930s by pioneering horticulturist Dr. L.H. MacDaniels (1888-1986). Neglected for decades, researchers and students began renovating the site and establishing new research projects since 2002. The site currently boasts demonstrations of a wide range of crops that can be grown in the forest, including mushrooms, wild leeks, ginseng, ornamental plants, nuts, and fruits like Paw Paw.

> Work Parties will engage participants in a range of infrastructure and site improvements. We will gather and work from 3 – 6pm and then an educational tour of the site will be given by extension aide Steve Gabriel. In addition to conducting agroforestry research at Cornell, Steve and Ken are co-authoring a book on the subject, see http://www.FarmingTheWoods.com. >
