Fortune Park Fruit Harvest

Join us for a lovely morning picking apples and plums in a pocket park near the center of town. This is a chance to protect people and bears alike by keeping available food sources in the city, like urban fruit trees, clear of the tempting fruits that draw many black bears into town. 

Once our work is done, we'll divvy up the spoils and take home some delicious fruit!
