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 Food Forest along the Champlain Heights Trail in 2023. We are grateful to the 204 volunteers, who helped throughout the course of the project, with invasive removal and native planting.
What is a Food Forest?
A Food Forest or a Food Garden is an area that is filled with plants that benefit humans, but also provide food for birds and insect pollinators.
Location
Our Food Forest is planted along the beautiful Red Alder Trail in South Vancouver.
Past Events
Free the Fern organized 10 free public events as part of our Food Forest Project. These included outreach, stewardship and art events.
