Gleaning Events

As PAR publicizes its goals and community events, many people call in who have fruit trees which they are unable to pick themselves.  PAR is cooperating with other community organizations in an effort to meet this need and to prevent such tasty and nutritious food from going to waste.  And because fruit trees benefit our urban environment, a goal of UC Master Gardeners is to encourage people to maintain healthy home orchards and make good use of the bounty they produce.

Want to be on PAR's mailing list?  Print and fill out a PAR Pledge Form or leave your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number on PAR's message phone 559-226-1528.

To Pledge

Individuals or groups who would be interested in taking part in "gleaning" activities, helping pick the fruit and vegetables that otherwise would go to waste, are urged to volunteer by calling the PAR message phone 559-226-1528.
