#FoodForest design

LAWNS GONE WILD is a sustainable backyard education series and is offered in collaboration with #PrinceMemorialLibrary, Town of Cumberland's LCC Sustainability Committee , and Chebeague and #CumberlandME #LandTrust.

"A food forest is a way of laying out a landscape to mimic a natural forest, providing food and other human needs with a minimum amount of external inputs and maximum benefits to #wildlife and the greater #environment. Guest speaker #AaronParker introduces the concepts of ecological niches, analogs, and resource partitioning so you can design your own home-scale food forest. He also covers best practices for starting a food forest and recommended species to plant."
