Fun fact: Falling Fruit has a worldwide map where you can look to see if anyone has noted any fruit trees you can harvest near your location for free 🍎
Just wanted to add a little update because I've seen some comments and tags: this map is very much user generated, and it's been running for a fairly long time!
Sometimes areas get developed or trees get removed or circumstances change which is super disappointing, but please don't hesitate the map to reflect that so other people know that it's no longer a viable site! Additionally, if you know of sites that aren't on the map, adding them is a great way help out other people in your region who come across it.
As well as foragable materials, there's also the option to add other resources as well such a seed libraries, community gardens, bike pumps, free stores/pantries, food banks, compost sites, guerilla gardens, water fountains, and other community resources.
Projects like this are amazing, but don't forget that they work best when everyone collaborates!
Another update: I’d also recommend checking out their about page if you’re interested in supporting this concept further. Code is open-source, you can donate to help keep them running, and they also frequently look for translators and writers. Through this page you can also get country/regional lists of community harvesters and organisations you can donate excess food to or seek out if needed!
A few people have mentioned but I will add: sometimes the site does struggle a bit when it encounters heavy traffic! It is still up and running however.
