WaukGrow Needs Assessment
WaukGrow is a planning project, jointly coordinated by the Chicago Region Trees Initiative and Faith in Place, with the goal of determining whether, how, and where food forests can be cultivated in Waukegan, IL, based on partnerships and feedback from Waukegan residents.
All WaukGrow workshops will encourage dialogue with residents on the assets and challenges of Waukegan. The conversations and exchanges at WaukGrow workshops are critical to the food forest planning project, but to reach as many Waukegan residents as possible, we’ve also developed a needs assessment that will provide further insights into how food forests could be incorporated into the existing culture of Waukegan.
The needs assessment will be open to all Waukegan residents until summer 2023.
