CENTRAL -- The Heritage Apples Program is a multi-year joint effort of the Keweenaw County Historical Society (KCHS) and the Keweenaw Land Trust aimed at caring for the apple trees of historic Central and encouraging stewardship and preservation of old apple trees and heritage apple varieties throughout the Keweenaw region.
You are welcome to join volunteers THIS SATURDAY, April 10, for a work session pruning some of the apple trees at the Central Mine location in Keweenaw County. Participants will meet at the Central Visitors' Center at 10 a.m. and work until 2 p.m. If you wish to arrive after 10, you should be able to find us if you wander the trails of the KCHS property at Central. John Slivon and Pat Toczydlowski will bring their pruning tools and self-taught "expertise" to the task. Bring a sharp pen knife, pruning saw, clippers, gloves, etc., if you have them. You may want to bring a rain coat, lunch and water bottle as well, depending on the weather and your plans.
Directions to the Central Visitors' Center from the south: Take Hwy US 41 north past Phoenix to Central. Turn left (north) on the road that leaves the highway opposite the Gratiot Lake Road. The Visitors' Center is a short distance up on the left hand side. There is a parking lot just past the Center.
Questions?? Call Patricia Van Pelt at 482-0160.
