Urban Foraging and Land Access
with Nathan Hunter

The Bronx River Foodway is a pilot project at Concrete Plant Park developed in 2017 to examine how a sustainable food landscape can be integrated into a public park. The goal is to jump-start the imagination and think about new ways to use land within the city. Currently, The Foodway offers access to a variety of edible plants including medicinal plants like echinacea, nut trees like the chestnut, an assortment of native berries, as well as a section dedicated to kitchen herbs and recognizable veggies.

Nathan will share the project's concept/design, successes, and failures with others to encourage a collective consciousness around land access, food sovereignty, and community/environmental health.
