📣NEW FOOD FOREST! 🫐 We're so excited to start work on a food forest at Renfrew Ravine Park! Over the coming months, we'll transform a large area that is currently engulfed by invasive blackberries, and begin its transformation into a diverse forest of food and medicinal plants -- a place where nature, culture, and community will come together. Join us for first food forest session, where we'll create a vision for the future of this site, dig up invasive plants, enjoy ripe berries, and connect with other foragers in the community.
