PCSWCD offers ‘Fall Care for Young Fruit Trees’

DOVER-FOXCROFT — Piscataquis County Soil & Water Conservation District will be hosting a “Fall Care for Young Fruit Trees” program on Saturday, Oct. 28 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. with our friend, CJ Walke. Walke has worked with PCSWCD for nine years and has an impressive background in orchard management and is currently Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association’s orchard programs manager.

This event will be held at the Law Farm Nature Trails Outdoor Education Classroom in Dover-Foxcroft and will be utilizing the newly planted and restored apple trees on site at our Educational Apple Orchard. We will be discussing the status of trees and when to prune and care for them prior to the winter season. There will also be time for open discussion and questions to help you care for your apple trees.

Space is limited and registration is required at www.piscataquisswcd.org. This event is perfect for our Tree & Plant Sale customers that purchased apple trees with us! There is a small fee per participant which helps support our educational outreach programming.
