“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: FRUIT TREE 101 PROGRAM ($5,318) FTPFs Fruit Tree 101 program donates and plants fruit tree orchards at public schools of all levels, around the world, to provide generations of students and teachers with healthy nutrition options and environmental education opportunities. Students and teachers participate in plantings with FTPF administering a curriculum focused on sustainability and healthy nutrition, thereby inspiring new groups of environmental stewards. Many schools use the orchards as outdoor classrooms to teach concepts in botany and ecology. One school district official wrote that they expect the orchards to last for decades, giving our students the opportunity to receive environmental education that would not otherwise be available to them. The orchards also provide a source of produce for improved nutrition in school lunch programs. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: AFTERCARE ($3,555)FTPF serves as an ongoing resource for orchard recipients, and provides horticultural expertise, guidance, and follow-up visits and consultation, including workshops and seminars on advanced topics such as pruning and organic, humane maintenance. FTPF continually works on aftercare items with orchard caretakers throughout the year, as needed. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: FRUITFUL NEIGHBORHOODS ($21,622)This program involves working with communities, nonprofits such as food banks, and public parks across the country to create community orchards, which provide a long-term source of nutrition for the neighborhood. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: CONSERVATION & NURSERIES - NA PIKO NURSERY ($30,763)In order to conserve valuable land resources on the planet and create fruit tree forests and tree farms for the benefit of communities, FTPF preserves lands it has acquired and the fruit trees within them. At its Na Piko site, FTPF is setting up a world-class eco-friendly tree nursery to grow tens of thousands of trees to use in its programs.”
