Canada: Volunteers at Vancouver’s Fruit Tree Project Harvest the City’s Backyard Bounty
Demand for help from the Fruit Tree Project, now in its 25th year, is matched by the need for fresh produce.

Excerpt:
“The house was built in the 1920s, but I don’t know when the tree was planted,” she says. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it was at least 70 years old.” A few years ago, the tree produced more than 100 pounds of apples, all picked by VFTP volunteers and donated to charity.
“Every second year is usually abundant,” Mitchell notes. “I just had the tree pruned for the first time, by the Vancouver Fruit Tree Project, two years ago, and because it was never pruned before, the tree went into a little bit of shock. Last year was not an abundant year, so I don’t know how this year will be.”
While Moreau hasn’t calculated the full value of the fruit—which also includes pears, Asian pears, crab apples, cherries, plums, figs, grapes, and quinces—shared by the project in a summer, it is significant. She attributes the longevity of the organization to its mission of reducing food waste and building community, and its vision of a food-secure Vancouver where everyone has access to fresh, local fruit.
“The volunteers are the true power behind the organization,” she says. “I think that’s why there are always people willing to help. I think they see the value in the organization.”
