THE PRINCIPLES AND SCIENCE OF AN URBAN FOOD FOREST
July 14, 7PM | Tom Jerow
Rhinelander’s City Forester, Tom Jerow, will first offer an overview of Rhinelander’s urban forestry program and then take a deep dive into an urban food forest landscape. An urban food forest (also known as an edible forest garden) is a permaculture-inspired garden within a city that mimics the structure and functions of a natural forest ecosystem while producing edible plants. The city is developing a public food forest with a grant from the USDA Forest Service through the Wisconsin DNR. The permaculture principles of a food forest can also be applied in a small urban backyard.
Tom Jerow worked for the Wisconsin DNR for 34 years and holds a degree in Soil Science from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
