Riverstone Community Food Forest

The Riverstone Community Food Forest in Willson Park, new in the spring of 2024, is a thriving ecological project designed to support local biodiversity and provide sustainable food sources for the community. This innovative initiative brings together residents, volunteers, and local organizations to cultivate a diverse range of plants, including fruit trees, shrubs, herbs, and native species, all while promoting environmental education and community engagement.

The food forest serves as a living classroom where visitors can learn about permaculture, sustainable gardening practices, and the importance of pollinators in maintaining healthy ecosystems. With pathways, educational signage, and seating areas, the space is accessible and welcoming to all, encouraging exploration and hands-on learning.

By fostering a deeper connection to nature and empowering individuals to contribute to food security, the Riverstone Community Food Forest plays a crucial role in enhancing the well-being of the Chase community and building a more resilient and sustainable future. Whether you're interested in volunteering, attending workshops, or simply enjoying the natural beauty, the food forest offers something for everyone.
