Native Food Forest
With funding support from the City of Vancouver ‘s Neighbourhood Matching Fund, Tree Canada, and Park People.
Free the Fern Stewardship Society created a Native Food Forest along the Champlain Heights Trail in 2023. Thanks for the 204 volunteers, throughout the course of project, who helped with invasive removal and native planting.
