Volunteers needed to plant fruit trees




Volunteers are needed to plant 45 fruit trees at the Broome County Council of Churches’ farm on River Boulevard in Conklin.


Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse won the trees earlier this year in an Internet-based Communities Take Root contest sponsored by Edy’s Fruit Bars and the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation.


CHOW will hold a tree-planting event from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 22 on a half-acre tract of its seven-acre fresh food farm in Conklin. Go online to broomecouncil.net/volunteer.asp to register as a volunteer or call (607) 724-9130.
