Learn how people can produce what they need in healthy ecosystems. In an era when people have strained the world's ecosystems to meet their needs, a forest garden provides a critical combination of benefits for people and planet—cleaning water, building soil, and providing a bounty of food and supplies.

Lincoln Smith recently opened Forested, LLC (forested.us), a forest garden research and education company in Bowie, MD. He helps landowners and land managers throughout the eastern United States create successful production ecosystems through training at the Forested demonstration forest garden. Previously, Lincoln worked at Graham Landscape Architecture in Annapolis, where he helped clients meet their goals on the land as sustainably as possible. He holds a master’s degree in landscape design from the Conway School of Landscape Design.
