Help start a North Shore Fruit Tree Project to link excess fruit in backyards with those who lack fresh fruit. Fruit falls to the ground and goes to waste when there are lots of people going hungry or relying on unhealthy cheap food. Other Metro Vancouver cities use volunteers to bridge this gap; let's do it on north shore! We're looking for volunteers and tree owners and donors.

A big goal for the New Year is to create as many new community gardens in the city as possible! There is SO much demand, and the new Parks Board seems like it's on board. I do volunteer work as the community gardens coordinator with the Vancouver Public Space Network, and we're working hard with community groups across the city to get people planting.
