Portland, Oregon
About
Some nice foliage may make Portland, Oregon a “green” city, but amongst the leaves is a surprising amount of edible food sources. On one side of town there may be a public street lined with fruit trees whose bounty gets swept in to a dumpster year after year, while on the other side some kids may be anxious to make some plum jam. This project aims to make more available the natural food sources throughout the city that go undiscovered each year. Nut trees, berry patches, unsprayed fields of dandelion roots are all welcome. We invite you to share the sources you already know of, search for new ones with your friends, and participate in our official scouting days.

Yum! Figgies!
NE 13th Ave on the first block north of Alberta.
A large fig tree with a lot of overhang onto the sidewalk.
Lots within reach for a tall lanky fellow (is fellow gender specific?).
And now's prime time for figs.
Heart,
Seth
