Come join us as we create a sustainable forest at Little Trout Lake Park! The first portion of the day 12-2PM is a workshop with a class explaining what a Fruit Tree Guild is! Followed by planting of 5 fruit guilds including:
- Blueberries X 20

After the planting from around 2-4PM we will be covering the guilds with wood chips and adding a fence around the perimeter of the baby plants.
