Minimum age to volunteer is 10 years old. Chaperones are required age 15 and under.
Our Historic Orchard has been going through the process of preparing it for new trees. An orchards typical life is about 20-25 years, and the current orchard was planted in 1994 (26 years ago!).
We have removed a number of trees to make way for varieties that will be better adapted for our current and future climate. (Don't worry, we are keeping a few of the remaining trees because they are healthy). NEW PLANTINGS COMING IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY FOR HALF THE ORCHARD, YAY!!
Workdays will focus on sheet mulching the orchard, litter removal in and around the orchard, pulling and removal of weeds, minor repairs to infrastructure as needed, and generalized care and maintenance of the orchard itself and our new baby trees.
We will meet at the picnic area. We know many are anxious to help our parks these days, please join us as we practice safe measures of volunteerism.
