Harvests and Other Events
Before signing up for an event, please be sure that you and each person signing up has registered previously on the Volunteers page. If you have already registered as a volunteer you do not have to do so again. Each adult must sign up separately for events. To sign up for an event, click on the 'Sign up for this event' button. Once you sign up, you will receive a confirmation letter with the exact address and detailed information about the event. If the roster is full, your name will be added to a waiting list and you will receive an email if anyone ahead of you cancels their spot.
Bear conflict harvests are marked as [bear] on the calendar.
Move the mouse over harvests on the calendar and click to see details and a sign up link below the calendar. Harvests in green have roster spots available; those in yellow have a waiting list.

Come pick this Bartlett pear tree with Grace! The tree is on a steep hill, so it is not the most kid-friendly site. This will be a smaller harvest but will help to keep both people and black bears safe. | |||
