The Conservation Foundation and North Central College are pleased to present: Strengthening Local Food Systems & Living Sustainably featuring Robin Greenfield, Activist & Forager on Saturday, November 1st!The Earth can provide us with everything we need. Activist Forager Robin Greenfield believes this with all his heart and is putting this love and devotion for Earth into bold action. For one year he will be foraging every bite of his food and medicine. “Nature” will be his garden, his pantry and his pharmacy.
To bring this message to the people, he is traveling from his homeland of Northern Wisconsin, speaking in communities across the country. He will embody a relationship of reciprocity with Earth during his community visits, bringing a spotlight to the food and medicine that is growing freely and abundantly all around us, as well as enthusiastically inviting communities to join him in a grassroots, collaborative effort to plant 1 million Community Fruit Trees over the next decade.
