*Our volunteers expect to harvest at least a 40 lb crate of fruit at each harvest. Do you feel you have this amount of fruit to pick? For chokecherry-only harvests, we ask that your tree or shrub be especially full of ripe fruit, as the small size of chokecherries requires a more abundant yield to make harvesting worthwhile. -- select -- Yes No Not sure, please call me.

Yes, with a common insecticide or pesticide.
Yes, but it is non-toxic.

Bear Activity
The next three questions are about black bears. Why are we talking about bears, you ask? By harvesting the surplus fruit growing throughout Boulder, we are helping to protect the local black bears that wander into town in search of food. Urban areas are not safe places for large animals like black bears; please help us be better neighbors to our wildlife by answering these questions about bears. Contact bears@fruitrescue.org with questions.

*Have you experienced bear activity on your property this year? -- select -- Yes No Not sure

*If yes, roughly when did the bear activity occur? -- select -- Today Yesterday This past week This past month More than a month ago I haven’t seen one this year, but bears have been known to visit my property in the past! This does not apply to me

-- select -- Bear was in or feeding from my fruit tree Bear was in or passing through my yard Bear was feeding from another attractant on my property (ex: bird feeder, unsecured trash, etc.) Bear was in my neighbor's yard Bear was seen in my neighborhood This does not apply to me
