Lincoln Smith, founder of Forested, a food forest in Bowie, Md., inspects a tree while giving a tour of his land on July 6. Over the five years that Smith has been renting the ten acres from a local church, he has transformed it into a multistory food forest that produces diverse crops and provides food for the community.

Hi Sean, we recommend you get in touch with Forested, the organization behind the project. https://www.forested.us/staff
Hey good afternoon hope all is well! My girlfriend learned about this from a class she is in and I would like to know if we could come check it out because her and I were considering doing the same thing in our area.Would love to meet and talk if possible.
Love the idea of private forests available for plant harvesting but please remind/inform people that collecting plants from public lands is illegal. Remember removing plants from the woods will reduce a plant's ability to reproduce and will adversely affect its long-term survival in that location.
Thank you!
