On Wednesday, October 1 from 5-7 p.m., Edible
Forest Gardens author, designer and teacher Dave
Jacke will lead a discussion focused on effective
design for abundant food-producing ecosystems. We
will explore the self-renewing qualities of the
forest with an eye toward mimicking natural
structures and functions to produce food, fuel,
fiber, fodder, fertilizers, farmaceuticals and
fun! This event is sponsored by Cornell
Universitys Department of Natural Resources,
Department of Horticulture, the MacDaniels Nut
Grove, Dilmun Hill Student Farm, the New World
Agriculture and Ecology Group (NWAEG), and the
Cornell Small Farms Program. It is free and open
to the public. Please bring your friends!
Location is weather dependent. We will meet at
the Dilmun Hill Student Farm barn at 5 p.m.
(directions follow) unless it is
raining. Rain location is in Rm. 114 Plant
Science Building on Tower Rd. (directions
follow). Please RSVP if possible (it will make it
easier to tell you if were inside) but feel free
to show up (notices at both locations).
