A food forest is a gardening technique or land management system, which mimics a woodland ecosystem by substituting edible trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. Fruit and nut trees make up the upper level, while berry shrubs, edible perennials and annuals make up the lower levels.  This creates a living system with numerous benefits including wildlife habitat, pollution remediation, abundance of food and medicinal yields, and positive space for community engagement. The Fair-Amount Forest will combine aspects of native habitat rehabilitation and carbon sequestration with edible forest gardening. ​
