In the neighborhoods of Los Angeles, citizens are beginning to make use of public land. Fallen Fruit is an art collaboration that began creating maps of public fruit: the fruit trees growing on or over public property in Los Angeles.
Their goal is to make use of urban space as well as create a sense of community among neighbors. Recent activities include Fruit Jams, a day where people bring homegrown or public fruit a join in communal jam-making festivities.
Find more on their website at www.fallenfruit.org.

Fruit Tree Maps
Please note, though, that it's not all for public gleaning. Many of the trees are on private property so please ask before harvesting.
And add trees yourself -- anyone can do it!
