Clear Creek Community Food Forest

This is the continuation and expansion of a project in which an acre of degraded land is being regenerated into a food-productive space for humans and wildlife utilizing food forest design, regenerative agriculture, and permaculture design methods. We would like to host action days, one in June and one in July, to provide a boost of energy and focus to this community food forest project that was started back in 2015 when the full-scale comprehensive map and initial earthworks were completed, along with 100+ trees, shrubs and herbs planted by more than 50 people in the community. Joana and myself (Michael) will organize promotional material, tools, food, entertainment (music in the garden!), educational workshops, organic resources and other facets necessary to empower people, skilled and unskilled, to contribute to what will be an exciting day of hands-on learning and the creation of a food forest that will provide for community members in one of the poorest counties in the country and one lacking in readily-available nutritious food, Rockcastle county in Kentucky.
