A fun coincidence - I saw this link right after jumping off the plane from a trip to Hiiumaa and Saaremaa in Estonia. Public apple trees are everywhere. Additionally, people leave some of their apples in boxes for everyone to take for free - some are in front of houses and shop, others on public bus stops etc. Such a lovely tradition.
minor complaint: every single interaction with the map results in a new item pushed into the browser history
which makes pressing the back key multiple times take you on a fun adventure in reverse!

Rule 1: be nice
Here's a detailed one for Toronto,
I am always on the lookout for mullberries.
I really like them and you can't just buy them at a grocery store.
This reminds me of the Stanford Gleaning Project

Also they have a freegan section of reported foods being thrown away.

It is a shame they we throw away so much food.
Yeah this seems to be more popular, at least in England.

The city also has some foraging clubs that are quite active. There are many more things to pick in the city's forests and parks: asparagus, strawberries, raspberries, currants, mushrooms, etc.
Does this use OSM? Does anyone understand how to integrate your own data with OSM (like this project does) without having to actually add it to OSM?
Ok.
People will use this to systematically harvest what they can and sell it or its byproducts. Tragedy of the commons, etc.
better systematically harvested and sold than fallen to the ground and rotted
Yeah in my experience most people don't like giving up the location of public apple trees etc. so they can harvest them themselves anyway.
