About 40 volunteers came together at West Lion’s Park Gleaning Food Forest. They cleared weeds, restored pathways, and planted new trees and shrubs to boost the forest’s productivity and help local community members access fresh produce. The day was also a chance to learn about edible gardening, local wildlife, and winter preparation, while pressing locally donated apples into cider. This project, dormant for two years, aims to revitalize the park as a hub for food production, community connection, and environmental education.
