Food Forest Demonstration Sites
The City is installing two food forest demonstration sites in Boughton Park and Leif Erickson Park during the 2023-2024 growing seasons.
Several sites were considered using criteria such as land availability, neighbourhood food insecurity and public accessibility. Based on the results, Leif Erickson Park and Boughton Park were selected as the highest priority sites.
Refer to the tabs at the top of the page for more information on the individual food forest demonstration sites.
