Workshop Outline

Part 1: Presentation by Dan on the core principles behind syntropic agroforestry - one promising approach for establishing food forests.

Break into small groups to apply these principles to Olympic Park.

This hands-on design exercise will explore plant layering, complementary edible species, access and pathways, water considerations, public engagement, and more.
