Well, here we ago again. It’s been a great year for ‘wild’ fruit but that means Jamestown will have issues with bears habituating to being close to people and homes. That ends badly for our bears, and puts people at risk.
So, pick your apples, at least the ones you can reach, ones close to your home, to reduce the potential for an escalating situation. I’ll be picking mine this weekend, and hauling them off as compost.
There is an excellent group from Boulder who would love to help out Jamestown with fruit gleaning - if you want help please reach out and I’ll help with arrangements. The fruit is donated to shelters, canned if it’s worthy, and given to animal sanctuaries on the front range.
I just heard the air horn on Mesa!
