This is a great set of training materials for Forest Garden homestead development by Trees for the Future. This material was funded in part by USAID, so publishing here since the USAID infrastructure has been negatively impacted by misguided activities recently.

Has anyone else seen their newly published Forest Garden Technical Manual Published in May 2025?
https://trees.org/the-forest-garden-training-manual/
You have to put in your email and name in order to view it…
It is a MASSIVE PDF of 250MB and over 500 pages but there doesn’t seem to be any way to download this…
Has anyone else figured out how to download this? I don’t understand how they are expecting people in the developing world to access this information if it cannot be downloaded. While high quality photos are nice, 250MB is massive for a PDF. It really frustrates me when organizations like this make things prohibitively difficult for the very people they are trying to help…
Tyler,
Rather unintuitively, after the document opens in the viewer, click on the printer icon and then choose “Save to PDF” or “Save to file”.
