This exciting new rural Ontario pilot project program has been created and supported by a group of agencies that include Hiawatha First Nation, The City of Kawartha Lakes Human Services Department, Haliburton County City of Kawartha Lakes Roundtable for Ending Poverty and the Kawartha Lakes Food Coalition Food Security Working Group.
Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County are on the territory of the Michi Saagiig Anishnaabe who have cared for these lands since time immemorial and are covered by Treaty 20 and the Williams Treaty.
This new program for our communities is inspired by the wonderful fruit
picking and sharing project contributions of landowners/tree registrants,
volunteer pickers, harvesters, gleaners, and staff of the team of Not Far
from the Tree in Toronto that since 2008 has picked and shared
over 231,037 lbs of fruit across Toronto. This has been made possible by
the generous support of over 1,800 tree registrants and 2,200 fruit pickers.
Here in Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton of Treaty 20 we have thousands of
edible fruit trees in our towns and on rural land whose fruit is currently going
to waste and we want to try, like Not Far From the Tree to change this.
