Native Food Corridors
Native Food Forest Corridors is a collaborative initiative empowering urban residents of Clinton county to implement small-scale food forest and edible rain garden sites that function as knowledge and skill building hubs for local food sovereignty by restoring native food production and ensuring long-term success with technical assistance, resources, referrals, and free materials.
​
Important Eligibility Requirements:
​
-Applicants must be residents of Clinton County
-The site must be an urban residence.
Residents of Clinton County can request native trees, shrubs and plants free of charge. These are first come first serve. ​Each project is unique. The implementation time of your project will depend on your individual site plan. There are two planting seasons each year: Fall runs from September to November and Spring runs from February to April. We will implement your project within the earliest possible season. If you are interested, submit an application and staff will follow up to determine if the site is appropriate and schedule a consultation.
​
Participants will be invited to attend a series of events and activities to build community, instill knowledge and support program success. ​
