Our Purpose

Our purpose is to address on a small scale the global issues of food security and environmental health through the creation of an edible food forest at the Viles Arboretum. This demonstration landscape will provide food for people and wildlife and serve as a living classroom for a multitude of educational programs and community gatherings.
