Jumpstart at the University of Washington, a national early education organization working with preschool aged children from under-resourced communities to promote early learning and education for all, is partnering with City Fruit! City Fruit is a non-profit organization "dedicated to putting urban fruit trees to their best and fullest use". Meaning they help growers and orchard stewards harvest extra fruit and share that harvest with local community programs and community members/families to help increase healthy food access and make the best use of urban growing food spaces. On MLK Day we will be helping them restore a historic orchard space near Mount Baker, with trees that were planted in the 1940's! We will be helping clear weeds, apply mulch, and remove damaged branches from the trees, and we could use your help! Snacks will be provided, but please bring your own lunch and a reusable water bottle (we will have a space available to refill). Also, we will be working rain or shine so layers and boots are recommended! **SIGN UP HERE** https://goo.gl/forms/9mH2zxWn2jufEDpL2
