A Note on Land Stewardship
Forest Fringe Farm exists through an ongoing practice of care, repair and relationship with the land. Stewardship here is about listening, responding and tending over time.
The farm sits on wet living ground. Water moves through the site in visible and invisible ways, shaping where we walk and gather. Our approach honors these patterns and we work with seasonal flow, allowing parts of the land to rest or regenerate as needed.
As a visitor, you are part of this stewardship. Staying on paths when possible, moving gently through planted or sensitive areas and respecting signs or boundaries helps protect fragile systems. Please avoid disturbing soil, plants or wildlife habitats even when they appear untended.
We practice low-impact living composting waste, conserving water, minimizing energy use and building slowly. Many structures are temporary or evolving and reflect a long-term commitment to adaptability rather than permanence.
Stewardship also extends beyond ecology. Forest Fringe Farm is a Black queer-led space rooted in care, consent and shared responsibility. How we treat one another is inseparable from how we treat the land.
Thank you for arriving with attention, humility and respect. The future of this place depends on many small, thoughtful acts, yours included.
