Dear friends,
We are excited to share the creation of two new tribal orchards this summer with the Catawba Nation! Both orchards were planted in order to support the tribe's food sovereignty initiatives and to bring much needs healthy fresh fruit into their communities.
The over 60 trees planted in these two orchards have been a longtime dream for the tribe. As the food sovereignty coordinator said about the project, it will "help increase access to healthy, fresh foods and supply access to the ability to gain physical exercise, as well as increase time spent outdoors.”
FTPF is now hard at work coordinating more upcoming orchard projects with tribes in other parts of Turtle Island. If you believe in this work, we encourage you to share this project with your friends or to donate today...every little bit helps us bring fruit trees to tribal communities that need them.
To a fruitful future,
The FTPF Team
