I will not ask you to start eating grass, but I will point out the vast amounts of free plums, cherries, apples, pears, and nuts in your neighbourhood.

Fruit and Nut Map

All of the Urbane Forager fruit tree coordinates have now been added to the Falling Fruit Global Fruit Tree Map. This is an open access map and anyone can use and contribute to it.

A mobile phone app will also be available soon.

The Urbane Forager Free Fruit Map is still active but this is necessarily a local endeavour, and so most of our locations are based around Southampton.

We can also crop unwanted fruit from local gardens, by arrangement.
