In 2014 Roots to Harvest and the City of Thunder Bay planted the city’s first urban food forest. Located at the parkette on Court Street, the food forest includes a range of fruit trees and berry bushes that, once fully grown, will become a place people can go to pick apples, plums, saskatoons, and other tasty snacks. In addition to making fresh food more available in the city, the food forest will make for a healthier and greener environment.
