The Urban Food Forest Project aims to plant edible species along the corridor of the Onondaga Creek and Furnace Brook tributary to increase the urban canopy and slow runoff, and to add edible species through key parts of Syracuse.
Working with this project has taught me about community outreach, urban forestry, edible plants, and public/private partnership with the Southwest Community Learning Farm, Kwanzaa Garden, Brady Farm, the Syracuse City Arborist, the Syracuse Land Bank, Neighborhood and Business Development, and others.
For this project, I worked on concept planting designs, models, context maps, and diagrammatic sections which show sampled and planted species, community stakeholders, and the character of the riparian corridor.
