A thousand miles of belonging.
The Innisfree is an ambitious vision to grow a new kind of National Park, one shaped not by fences or monuments, but by living landscapes, shared stewardship, and the slow work of renewal.
What is the innisfree?
The Innisfree is a continuous corridor of regenerative landscapes stretching through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan. It weaves together walking and biking trails, rewilded parkland, food forests, community gardens, and learning spaces—forming a shared landscape that grows healthier with time.
It is envisioned as the world’s largest continuous food forest and the second-largest park east of the Mississippi River.
Why the innisfree?
Across America’s heartland, land is degrading, rural communities are shrinking, and people feel increasingly disconnected from place. The Innisfree offers a different future—one rooted in care, productivity, and belonging. By restoring ecosystems and reconnecting communities, The Innisfree addresses food security, ecological resilience, and economic vitality at once.
Food insecurity
As a living food forest, The Innisfree brings organic, nutritious food and value-add products directly to communities right from the source.
Valuable Park Space
The Innisfree regrows valuable park space in areas that are often missing canopy and functioning ecosystems. These spaces also create unique living educational zones for schools and community organizations.
Job Training
The Innisfree offers ample opportunity for training in the green jobs of the future. From orchard and meadow maintenance to food processing and value-add production, The Innisfree grows a full-circle network of training opportunities.
