Fall 2017 WERS Food Forest Planning

During the fall 2017 semester, students in ENV 454w are planning a food forest for the Whittaker Environmental Research Station (WERS). The food forest will provide a new food system where students can learn about and experiment with sustainable agricultural production. Field trips are a key feature of the class and have included visits to area orchards, a forest garden in the city, a permaculture site, and nearby conservation areas. Students have met with and talked to local business owners, private citizens, and government managers.
