Native Food Forest Planting Party at Chief Leschi Schools
Join us at Chief Leschi Schools to be part of a public native food forest planting event and aid in laying the foundation to revive community stewardship. Everyone is welcome.
Join us at Chief Leschi Schools (CLS) for a special public event, for everyone in the community. An exciting traditional native food forest was installed installed by CLS, UW SMEA and was Free The Green’s executive directors thesis project.
This project centers on the creation and restoration of a traditional food forest in collaboration with a salmon habitat restoration at Chief Leschi Schools. This project is not only an outdoor environmental classroom space, but is also along Clear Creek, a salmon bearing tributary off of the Puyallup River. Beyond planting trees, at the core, this project is restoring and uplifting systems of care, food, and governance structures that have long sustained both people and ecosystems in this region since time immemorial.
Through fostering food sovereignty, intergenerational learning, collaboration, and overall human wellness, the project aims to create space for students and community partners to engage in ecological restoration and to participate in rebuilding relationships to land and to one another through reciprocity and place-based community care.
