Seattle has long been a place where urban living and nature have coexisted. We boast being one of the top 10 cities in the US for access to parks. We are called the Emerald City even. So it should come as no surprise that planning and construction is underway for an entirely edible and FREE forest of food. The Beacon Food Forest is underway next door to Jefferson Park in Beacon Hill. The Food Forest is being designed to mimic a natural ecosystem but substituting edible nuts, fruits, veggies and herbs throughout. Phase One, consisting of building the fruit and nut tree grove, has already begun. The Food Forest will progress over the next several years. If you like to visit and/or volunteer at the Forest, more information can be found here: http://beaconfoodforest.weebly.com/
