The first day of class we took a trip to check out the food forest. I have never seen anything like that and think that's awesome to have on a college campus. It educates students on different kinds of tropical fruit, native species and vegetables. It is also led by students for students. Some people might not have adequate resources able to get fresh fruits and vegetables, but are able to get fresh fruits and vegetables at their convenience at school. Being able to just go and pick your food off of the trees while getting educated is a double plus. The food forest is also a great way to serve and give back to others. I plan to maybe serve in the future so I can see what all goes on around there. If we can get educated as students at FGCU, then we as a student body will be able to educate people surrounding us. We would be taking small steps to improve the health of our society if we can educate others on what they are eating. I think there needs to be a more awareness on campus to let people know that it is there. The food forest is awesome and I look forward to seeing what it will produce in the future.
