Lincoln High School Climate Justice Group volunteer fruitlet thinning, bagging, and netting at the Good Shepherd Center

Thinning your fruitlets is a critical springtime tree care task to encourage the production of larger, high-quality fruit and to reduce the risk of branches breaking on older trees from the weight.  Netting and/or bagging a branch of your tree or the entirety of the tree can help mitigate against winter codling moth and apple maggot fly damage.

A group of student volunteers from Lincoln High School’s Climate Justice Group will be supporting City Fruit and the Seattle Historical Society with some apple fruitlet thinning and tree netting at the Good Shepherd Center! This is a closed to the public event.
