Help Wild Potomac and CFFC identify trees that can feed people and wildlife in Silver Spring and Takoma Park.
Planting food forests is great but you’ll be surprised how many fruit and nut trees are already growing all around us. We want to map these free sources of wild food as one way of building local resilience to the societal shocks that, for many, are already here.
So come and learn how to map these trees using the Falling Fruit app with Wild Potomac and CFFC.
Wild Potomac's Neil Gormley – a naturalist, orchardist, and wild food enthusiast – will teach us how to identify trees that can feed the community. You'll
Hone your tree ID skills;
Use the Falling Fruit app to find and record trees;
Learn about opportunities to turn foraged fruit and nuts into food.
When:
10am to 12pm August 22nd
