Overlooked Bounty
What's growing in your street? The Overlooked Bounty is a collaborative mapping project developed by Council, providing foragers with the tools to track down free and nutritious food.
This interactive community resource will highlight fruit trees and other edible plants in public spaces in our region that can be harvested, eaten and shared.
With your contribution we hope to steadily build a map that will guide people towards free food and connect our community with the growing abundance around us.
Do you know of any fruit trees or edible plants in public spaces? Please let us know so we can build this resource together.
Overlooked Bounty Edible Food Map
Do you know of any fruit trees or edible plants in public spaces? Please let us know so we can build this resource together. Drop a pin onto the map below and we will verify and include on our interactive Google map. If you are foraging for food, please be aware that death cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides) grow in some parts of the Local Government Area. These should not be consumed as they can be fatal (link to info from ACT Health http://www.health.act.gov.au/datapublications/fact-sheets/environmental-health).
