Press release from Cooperation Humboldt:
Local nonprofit Cooperation Humboldt is kicking off the 2021 growing season by offering to plant free community fruit trees in publicly accessible locations throughout Humboldt County. This is the third year that Cooperation Humboldt has provided this opportunity to local residents and organizations.
The trees will be made available for planting in publicly accessible locations including private front yards as well as community locations like churches and schools, with the specific intent of making food available to anyone who wants it. Everyone who receives a tree must agree to share its fruits with their neighbors once the trees begin to produce, and signage will be added to that effect.
“We believe that nutritious food is a fundamental human right, and our food projects aim to put that belief into practice in very tangible ways,” says Tamara McFarland, who coordinates Cooperation Humboldt’s food justice program. “Our vision is to return this region to the regenerative ecological haven that it once was, so that every resident is surrounded by plentiful locally grown food. We’re re-creating a regional food forest, one yard at a time.”
This year’s undertaking builds on the success of the organization’s first two rounds of fruit tree planting, which have resulted in 80 trees planted to date. Cooperation Humboldt’s food team also provides Little Free Pantries to facilitate neighborhood sharing, installs free mini gardens for low income residents, and offers a variety of educational opportunities relating to food production.
