Tree Registration Form for NEW Tree Stewards
Where we harvest
While Community Fruit Rescue is occasionally able to accommodate sites located outside of our service area, in 2024 we are primarily harvesting trees located in/near Boulder and Longmont city limits. If you are in the Lyons area, please register through our Human-Bear Conflict Reduction Initiative in Lyons. If you are located outside of our service area or CFR isn't able to add your site to our harvest calendar, consider renting one of our DIY Harvest Kits.
Donation request & guaranteed harvests
Due to high demand and a need to support our small nonprofit organization, we are prioritizing sites that are able to make a donation of $100 or more (please consider the size & number of trees you’d like to be harvested when making a donation). Tree stewards who made a donation before October have been guaranteed a place on our harvest schedule. Financial assistance is available for those unable to make a monetary contribution, and all other harvest requests will be added on an additional first-come, first-served basis depending on CFR’s availability.
Bear activity
If you are experiencing bear activity in or near your fruit trees, please contact bears@fruitrescue.org.
Additional info
Community Fruit Rescue will not harvest unripe fruit and reserves the right to cancel harvests if the fruit is deemed premature. Visit our main site for more info on which fruits CFR will and won't harvest, how to tell when your fruit is ripe, and more.
