Board hears update on Apple Orchard donation; suggests horticulture program
Summary
Maintenance plans and a grant application for the school's Apple Orchard were discussed after Mr. Hoesly thanked Karen Wiltrout for a donation; the board suggested relocating the orchard and offering a Community Education horticulture program.
Mr. Hoesly expressed appreciation to Karen Wiltrout for a generous contribution to the music department and provided an update on the school's Apple Orchard, saying additional "retirement" trees are being planted and a grant application has been submitted to a national fruit-tree organization. He noted plans to deliver more wood chips for orchard upkeep.
President Ted Alberson raised a concern that trees planted in a corner might obstruct visibility as they grow; Mr. Hoesly replied they are unlikely to block sight lines. District Administrator Mark Stamper suggested possibly moving the orchard to the old garden site, and Laura Dutter-Nelson recommended developing a horticulture program through Community Education to leverage the orchard for hands-on learning.
