- The Beacon Hill Food Forest in Seattle is a legendary public park, providing fresh food in a food desert to community members who come to tend the landscape. Learn how this group of people is growing food, building soil, enhancing habitat for pollinators and beneficial insects, building community, sharing knowledge, and creating dynamic partnerships on this piece of public land in an urban environment.
Take a journey through Permaculture Food Forests in our upcoming online course: Permaculture Food Forests 101, provided through Oregon State University's Professional and Continuing Education:

Lead instructor:
Marisha Auerbach, www.permaculturerising.com
Brief course description:
Permaculture food forests are intentionally cultivated forest gardens that contain native and cultivated plants and provide yields for humans and ecological functions.
Essentially, it's a low maintenance forest that's edible, medicinal and that enhances your local environment!
What are the Benefits of a Food Forest?
A food forest is a sustainable and natural way to produce healthy and organic food.
By learning how to tend your specific soil and develop plant communities you'll be able to improve your yield and provide nourishing and healthy food for you and your family.
About the Permaculture Food Forests Courses
This program is offered in two parts. The first section of this course focuses on the context of permaculture food forests. You will learn about the multiple considerations for creating a food forest in your specific climate. Videos, articles and exercises will help you discover plants for your food forest and learn how to build relationships between them to increase productivity.
The second section of this course is an instructor led Permaculture Food Forest Practicum. The assignments in this course will guide you step by step through the design of a food forest on the site of your choice. Worksheets and a template for your design will help you research the necessary information for a successful food forest in your region.
You can choose to take only the first section of the course or join us for both sections with the practicum offered in the Fall of 2020.

So interesting! The future of America needs to have food forests everywhere. Not just for food but to promote physical activity, just giving people something to do to alleviate depression. Nurturing life everyday and watching it grow brings joy. AND I LOVE GOOD FOOD.
Agreed!!!
Nice that someone is trying to save the native bees, something that I have been doing for a long time. They are the reasons I turned my yard into a food forest.
Being a trained social worker with a keen interest in both community development and gardening, this really gets me exited!
Power to the people. Great project and success. Governments what are you doin to feed the community? So many countries lack food security .
This is awesome! I love and miss Seattle.
This was so interesting. It’s only a half hour from me so I need to see it for myself!
Very curious if the City, Police, social services & health dept in the local area have saved money as a result of the project - i.e. positive knock-on effects. Also wonder if the project included the homeless in the actual work itself & no just giving them free food - skills training with a path into employment opportunities elsewhere etc. Does the project work with domestic violence charities etc as a means of channeling negative behaviour patterns into positive attitudes through permaculture/gardening education? Potentially I can see money being saved by less maintenance for municipalities, less fly tipping, lower policing needs, improved health outcomes, improved educational outcomes thru better nutrition, potentially lower suicide rates & so on depending on how such projects are framed.
Just coming across your channel. Have enjoyed everything I've watched so far. Great production, awesome storytelling. Earth Stewardship, well documented and promoted
I love that you're on the highwayside. Do you know of anyone doing anything like this elsewhere?
@@nathanaelcard This is really a unique project to be so big and high profile in a public park. I don't know of another like it.
Brilliant! Such a great project - you’re an impressive group!
thank you...inspiring.....valuable to know more in depth how this came about :)
You make the world a better place. This is community. You are our Leaders! I love you all.
thank you for your continued work in urban agriculture and community activism
Fascinating project in Collective Action. It should have been no wonder, however, that in a state where there is no income tax and the only measure of social class hierarchy is Land Ownership, that the "powers that be" are worried about Homeless People (or, translation for common folk, those who are without land). Interesting.
thanks for the constant inspiration and education
4:00mins in is such an important breakdown of the bureaucratic process very well said and done!
I've been watching you grow!
I have such administration for you all . . . For the pioneering work that you do .. for your dedication & ultimate success . . ♡♡♡♡♡
Beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful!
Awesome video Andrew, please keep up your amazing and important work!!!! Thank you so much for all you do and share, love your videos, sharing them w friends
Love it! So awesome!
3:58 -- beginning of discussion about hurdles to overcome when getting started
Great video! I still need to make time to visit the forest in person. One thing that threw me off was that horsetail kept being referred to as an invasive species when it is very much native to basically all of North America. Is my information wrong?
Wow amazing!!!
Well done. Yes, the design process must have been overwhelming at times.
How about the park strip between the road and sidewalk. Since this is City owned the process would be easier.
A compost toilet system if done correctly could also add to the nutrient system.
Keep up the great work.
What an awesome place! I love that they have scholarships available for their PDC. Kimberly mentioned they had some education resources available for free on their web site; do you happen to have a link to them? I didn't see anything while combing through their site. Thanks so much for sharing your visit!
Don't worry about anyone else just go ahead with your project. Once the illusionary reality is gone, only food and water will matter. God bless you all! ♥️🙏😇🙌👏❤️🤗
Good job everyone 👏
They need a mini leaf/wood chipper also great for food scraps ect.
We can built more sustainable parks and permaculture to benefits the community. This is a good education experiences.
Good!
can you send us a template of the proposal approved by the State to fund your permaculture design process? appreciate it.
Is horse tail edible or medicinal?
Maybe a composting toilet is needed
You know guys that's the secret remember when mama knew best it back to GERBER Baby with a good peice of chicken cooked the right way good for you guys 💪🤓
Jungle i wonder what all africa would look like
Andrew I need your help out in Portland Oregon
Gerry, send me an email at : amillison@gmail.com
@@amillison will do. Thank you for replying so fast. Also thank you for all your great informational videos on permaculture
Gerry - I'm in Portland. Curious what you're up to?

d00d. Where do i get that hat
Legendary? I live here, I garden, I'm way into permaculture and I've never heard of it
“Everyone should have a say. Of course it ruined the fun, over complicated it, and increased the cost…” 🤪🤣💩💩💩🌻
