Forester Bruce Robinson will lead a hands-on workshop about managing wild apple trees at Dale and Eileen Schaefer’s property on Saturday, 21 July. (Note that this is a different location from previous years.)
Wild apple trees are a valuable resource that produce food and shelter for a wide array of wildlife, from game animals to songbirds and insects. Managing apple trees can keep them healthy and make them more productive. In this workshop, Bruce will discuss the principles of pruning and other management activities. We will then work in small groups to put these principles into practice by pruning some trees under Bruce’s guidance.
This is a full-day workshop and will be held rain or shine, so be prepared for the weather.
When: Saturday, 21 July 2018
9:30 am – coffee and donuts (if you can get them before Dale does)
10:00 – start work
Mid-afternoon – wrap up
