Free food is plentiful throughout Christchurch and Otautahi Urban Foraging group wants to help people find it.
From the Google Food Map:
“All over the city there is food that is being grown by nature, which falls on the ground and rots without being utilised. This group will function as a treasure map for the city, displaying information about foraging throughout the Christchurch area which are publicly accessible.
This map is also open for persons who have food growing on their own property, yet are unable to consume everything that is produced, and are happy to share their natural resources with others. If you know of some under-utilised resource, feel free to add it to this map, including information on what time of year the food is best accessed, what it is, and any other required information.”

Hi I was wondering if you are letting the public pick fruit from the red Zone This year
Thank you
There was a map online which had exactly where to find certain seasonal fruits etc. on this website, now I get a map but no index on where to go and what is there, HELP?
Hi Robin - you're right, looks like the map has disappeared.
Best bet may be to contact the group via their Facebook page - see above.
