The main purpose of FoodForestSchool.com is to connect people interested in food forests with people who have the experience with the skills required to grow them.
Listings for Courses, Events, & Workshops
Our first goal is to list as many events, workshops, PDCs, and other courses as possible in our local Pacific Northwest region that are related or have something in common with Food Forests.
We then intend to expand that to a national and eventually international level.
Somewhere along the line, we would like to invite instructors, and institutions to list their courses here and process payments for them.
Free Online Courses & Information
We’ll slowly be adding detailed information on this site aimed at teaching future food foresters the skills they need to plan and grow successful food forests for their unique situation and unique location.
Free Resources & Information
We’ll be adding a variety of different reference material, guides, peer-reviewed links, and other information in an organized and easily accessible manner.
