Community Forest Gardens: Case Studies Throughout the United States by Katherine Favor, NCAT Agroforestry Specialist
This article explores research Favor conducted at eleven agroforestry projects conducted around the country. The guide includes identification of types of fauna broken down by what layer of the forest plants grow in, such as understory tree or groundcover layer. The article includes a case study of the Beacon Food Forest in Seattle, WA, that provides produce to the Rainier Valley Food Bank. The case study identifies all of the plants growing grouped by the identification guide.
