The Festival Beach Food Forest is set to expand in its ninth year, but the growth downtown could pose a threat to the oasis.
AUSTIN, Texas — Taking a stroll on Lady Bird Lake, you are surrounded by nature and, at times, you can forget that a few steps away are huge high rises and a concrete jungle of streets.
For the past eight years, Luzius and other volunteers have developed the mini forest to work not only as a green space but a growing space. Think about what it would look like if nature had a supermarket. One of the group leaders, Aly Tharp, explained that the second phase of the forest will look slightly different. She said it won't be as densely planted, but it will still grow food and medicinal plants. The volunteers also plan to plant a wildflower meadow and add more educational spaces. "The current feeder roads are going to change.
There are also talks of noise walls that, depending on their placement, could block breezes from the river.
