Parks staff will work with the Sustainability Commission on code changes allowing residents to harvest fruit and nuts from city park trees.
Sustainability Commission - Apr 16, 2026
Green Bay currently bans picking fruit or nuts from park trees without staff permission. The commission wants to change that, allowing hand-harvesting for personal use and creating rules for food forest zones like Seymour Park. The proposal now goes to Parks staff and attorneys for drafting.
