[Excerpt from introduction] This project aimed to help repair the human relationship to the landscape by replacing a former trash dumping site with a publicly accessible area of edible and useful trees and shrubs ni a nature preserve. This si a first step, as the mechanics of responsible public use of plant resources on publicly accessible private land (especially that of a nature preserve) has not yet been worked out. Once people can get to know the plant species, how they are responsibly used, and the spaces in which they can be grown, individuals, families, and the community as a whole can actualize the sustainable use of these natural resources.
