Bard Family Forum—Planting Seeds of Hope: The Story of the Boston Food Forest Coalition
April 30 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Thursday, April 30, 2026 at 7:00 pm
How can individuals make a difference when facing climate change? What can you do? What can we do? How do we empower individuals to make a difference?
Join Newton Community Farm as we welcome Orion Kriegman, Executive Director of the Boston Food Forest Coalition (BFFC) to share the story of the creation and ongoing work of BFFC. Building on the Community Land Trust model, BFFC has now established 14 food forest parks in Boston. These third spaces build community resilience, engage democracy, and strengthen civil society all while transforming vacant lots into edible public parks.
Come be inspired by this story of building community resilience, climate resilience, and a city more prepared to adapt to climate change.
