Elmwood Food Forest Community Planting

600 Craddock St,Syracuse NY 13207

15 October, 2022

Description

Join Onondaga Earth Corps, the Syracuse Urban Food Forest Project, and other partners in Elmwood Park on Saturday, October 15th from 9am to 1pm to plant more food-growing shrubs and trees. These plants won't solve food insecurity -- a handful of berries simply won't cut it, unfortunately -- but they provide an opportunity to connect with the land through urban foraging and remind us that quality food is a human right. This is an added benefit layered on top of their other environmental services -- providing shade, wildlife habitat, soil erosion control, flood control, CO2 sequestration, and aesthetics. Please: Wear sneakers or boots Dress to get dirty Bring work gloves and a water bottle Families are welcome!Stay tuned for more details as the event approaches!
