Come along for a tour of the Bronx River Foodway, one of New York City’s only edible food forests, inside a city-owned park. Located inside Concrete Plant Park in the South Bronx, the Bronx River Foodway is a pilot project of the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation designed to jump-start the imagination, reconnecting communities to use land within the city. The food forest was first established in 2017 and offers access to a variety of edible plants including medicinal plants like echinacea, nut trees like the chestnut, and an assortment of native berries.  **_From Urban Omnibus: _**_Foraging is not allowed in New York City parks, unless you are plucking sage, squash, or serviceberries at the [Bronx River Foodway](https://urbanomnibus.net/2023/10/a-new-harvest/), a quarter-acre food forest at Concrete Plant Park. Descended from a floating public art project, the Foodway is now offering up its seventh harvest along the Bronx River. In 2023, Sabina Sethi Unni spent a few days sampling the Foodway’s abundant offerings, significant triumphs, and liberatory possibilities where a toxic mix of sewage, trash, urban runoff, and chemical waste once wreaked havoc on local ecologies. _ _See also: The story of “[Remediation as Ongoing Process of Recovery and Repair](https://urbanomnibus.net/2021/05/remediation-as-ongoing-process-of-recovery-and-repair-bronx-river-house/)” along the Bronx River, and a conversation on the “[Forager’s Metropolis](http://urbanomnibus.net/2015/09/foragers-metropolis-a-conversation-with-marla-emery/).” _ **Friday Tours**: 10 & 11 am Visitors will be able to attend tours to meet the familiar and unfamiliar plants growing in this beloved space, guided by organizers of the project from both the community and staff of NYC Parks.
