Have you ever been out for a walk in the river valley and wished you had packed a snack?
Lucky for you, a map on the City of Edmonton’s websiteĀ lets you see every nearby tree containing edible fruit.
Tens of thousands of trees can be viewed on the map, including apple, cherry, plum, and even Saskatoon berry bushes.
Edmontonians are welcome to harvest as much fruit as they’d like, so long as they don’t damage or harm the trees.

Fruit from City-owned trees should be washed thoroughly for any pesticides or other chemicals and residues from the environment.
Don’t eat any fruit or berries you have picked if you aren’t entirely sure of their identity.
With summer just around the corner, hunting for fruit trees all around the City of Edmonton could be a fun way to spend the day outdoors! Plus, all the delicious berries are the perfect reward at the end of your gathering session.
Happy foraging!
