August 2 Demonstrations in Whitehorse

The Yukon Government's Agriculture Branch is hosting it's annual Demonstration Day and we will be there! Their research plots are located at the Gunnar Nilsson and Mickey Lammers Research Forest just south of the Takhini Hotsprings Rd, about 15 minutes north of Whitehorse. John will be carrying out tree repair, replacement and rejuvenation - a useful crash course for anyone who has inherited a fruit tree that needs some TLC.
I will be discussing shelters with an example of our design that is currently housing two apple trees at the site. The tour includes a BBQ with local food - we will be there from 10am till 1pm. Afterwards, the whole group will move to Poplar Flats Farm (Bernard and Amoree Briggs) to learn from his experience - if you go along, you will see another of our apple shelters!
