[Bikecoop-announce] Tour de Fruit: Sat., June 19th at 6:30pm

[Emma Barnes]

*TOUR DE FRUIT: BICYCLE EXPLORATION & URBAN FORAGING *
This Saturday, June 19th, 2010. Meet outside the Bike Project (Urbana) at
6:30pm

Join local bicycle riders and fruit lovers as we excursion through the area.
We'll visit a variety of fruit trees, including pears, apples, paw paws,
persimmons, plums, apricots, peaches, mulberries, cherries, and juneberries.
 Each stop on the route will have time for activities and discussion, and
will end with a delicious snack at the end. The purpose of the ride is to
share knowledge of trees, identify native edibles, engage with the
community, and talk about new ways of navigating our landscape.

The group ride will begin at the IMC Bike Project and end at La Casa, a
co-op house where the residents are working on a permaculture food forest.


3-4 mile ride. Bring a helmet and containers to collect fruit.
