Northside Collaborative Fruit Map

Organization: Urban Artifact

Help update the Northside neighborhood fruit map!

Meet at 9:30 am in the Urban Artifact Courtyard.

There will be a short lesson from professor Alan Wight, learning briefly about native fruit and nut trees and what we've found in the neighborhood already. Then we'll head out and walk Northside gathering data.

Expect to spend up to a couple of hours in small teams (bring a friend!) and meet back at Urban Artifact to share with a Fruit Tart!
