Here is a simple slide show that I used in our planning sessions this winter. With the COVID19 in our midst, we all need to plan for beauty. We continue to establish an agricultural ecosystem within the city of Chicago that bring nature back to its people on the West Side. Grazing is a major method to do this. Our efforts are based on provided grazing plant systems for our goats and bees. The first slide on this series shows kids and goats in a lot on Long Street. While Long Street has grass it is not meant for nutrition. GlennArt will eventually develop this lot with healthy grasses and flowering plants. The second slide shows our daily perspective of Chicago light, cement and buildings and roads. The sight of city lights can be beautiful and overwhelming.
We are developing models to create environments for pollinators to thrive, for mini edible forests to feed us, and grasses for our animals to begin the cycle of connection to the land. You will also see a plan to organize the edible forest garden and the efforts that have begun, thanks to Joshua Morrow's research. We are building a chicken tractor to reestablish the grasses on Waller Street Root Riot Garden. Stay tuned for more details as they happen this week.
