Board weighs support for Fruit Tree Rescue and chokeberry harvest partnership

Tree Advisory Board · July 8, 2026

Summary

Members discussed rolling funds and program support for Fruit Tree Rescue and highlighted a chokeberry harvest that delivered fruit to Wyoming tribes; the board asked staff to confirm whether funds can be carried forward and to coordinate with Melanie at Fruit Tree Rescue.

The board considered whether to commit to supporting Fruit Tree Rescue in the 2027 budget and discussed the program's current-year finances. Chair noted the board already budgeted for this year and that "they're doing this, chokeberry harvest... sending them to tribes up in Wyoming that were struggling to get the fruit that they needed," describing a partnership the board praised.

Members asked whether unused funds could be held by the nonprofit for next year or if the town rules require the board to reallocate. The Chair said the board will check with town staff and with Melanie at Fruit Tree Rescue to clarify how funds and program commitments can be handled going into 2027.
