Event Description:

Historic Orchard: Alongside the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy, come support the Historic Orchard, a 3.3 representation of the history of the Santa Clara Valley fruit orchard industry! Our 200 fruit trees, maintained entirely by volunteers, provide fruit to the Second Harvest Food Bank – last year we donated over 5,000 lbs!

What we'll be doing:

Volunteers will spread wood chips around the trees in order to prevent weeds and improve water retention.

What you should know:

Come prepared; bring water! It is recommended that volunteers wear weather appropriate clothing including long pants and shoes/boots that can get dirty. GRPC will provide gloves (but they are pre-worn so you can bring your own if you prefer) and all other necessary tools.

Where to Meet:

we’ll meet at 412 Seymour Street, San Jose, CA at the orchard gate entrance near the end of the Seymour parking lot.

Guadalupe River Park Conservancy:

The Guadalupe River Park Conservancy was formed in 1995 through the merger of two existing non-profit corporations: Friends of the Guadalupe River Park and the Guadalupe Gardens Corporation. The mission of the organization is to provide community leadership for the development and active use of the park through education, advocacy and stewardship. In addition to working with numerous governmental agencies and providing a citizen perspective on development issues, the Friends promote awareness and community participation by providing educational and outreach programs and volunteer opportunities.
