SUMMARY:Memorial Tree Planting
DESCRIPTION:Each year we invite friends and family to gather with us to remember and celebrate their loved ones. The day includes a reception with a brief program followed by the planting of new trees into the Trees Forever Memorial Grove. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe encourage you to bring a note written to your loved one to place in the soil before we plant.

SUMMARY:Nuts & Berries Farm Crawl
DESCRIPTION:We all have a role to play in accelerating agroforestry in Iowa.  We need farmers growing these specialty crops\, we need processors turning them into value added products\, and we need you – the public\, to consume agroforestry products.  Support agroforestry and Join Trees Forever for an agroforestry farm crawl featuring three agroforestry sites and products like honeyberry\, chestnuts\, paw paw\, lumber and more.    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur first stop will be Little Deb’s Berry Farm near Newhall where hosts Jeff and Debbie Sindelar are growing several varieties of honeyberry and experimenting with kiwiberry\, an emerging new crop.  The honeyberries will be ripe and ready for sampling. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur second stop is Olivia’s Orchard\, an integrated agroforestry farm near Parnell featuring chestnuts\, paw paw\, and more.  Host Elana Gingerich will welcome the group for a tour of her “little slice of heaven” and discuss the various crops growing.  Attendees and expect some paw paw taste testing…YUM! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur day will wrap up with a stop at Koffron Hardwood Sawmill south of Tiffin.  Paul Koffron produces beautiful wood with his small-scale mill and even takes in “rescue” logs for repurposing.  This tour is fascinating to see how logs are turned into beautiful lumber. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is $40 and covers lunch\, refreshments\, and materials.  This event will take place rain or shine. Registration closes Wednesday\, June 3rd at 9AM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFarm Crawl AgendaDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register below\n\n\n\nRegistration is now closed. Thank you for your interest.
