This will be a 1-to-2-mile guided walk through the Ditmars section of Astoria, exploring the neighborhood’s diverse fruit trees in parks, along sidewalks, and in private yards. We’ll visit juneberries in Astoria Park, the city’s first public sidewalk pawpaws, chokecherries, apples, black cherries, and Astoria’s main crop – fig trees. Attendees will learn to identify trees, forage responsibly and safely, and gain a deeper appreciation for the abundance that’s around us. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water.
