Food Forest Series

Description

This presentation is for homeowners who want to maximize their yard’s ecological and economic potential while taking the first steps toward decolonizing the landscape. Food forests are an oasis for people, pollinators, and wild animals that anyone with access to land can grow; they are a modern reflection of ancient land management techniques practiced here and around the world before colonization. We’ll discuss planning and planting landscapes filled with fruiting native trees, shrubs, and edible perennials, maximizing rainwater capture, planning for ecosystem succession, and growing a multi-layered canopy of edible native plants. Learn how to create a habitat that will heal the land and provide sustenance for you and your family.

Purchasing this series includes eight videos and the live conclusion, where you can ask Russ questions on September 5th. Each video is about one layer of the food forest; you may watch them at your leisure. You will have access to the modules after purchasing, and we will send you the link to the live Q&A within 24 hours of the class.
