Bur Collection at Roland Farm Orchard
September 20, 2018 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
We’re looking for volunteer chestnut lovers to help bring in this year’s nuts. If you haven’t harvested before, here’s all it entails.
Someone climbs up the ladder and pushes the burs off.
People on the ground chase down the burs and put them in bags. Except at SCBI, we need to bag seed from each tree separately so we can follow them into future generations.
Someone on the ground is scribe, making sure each bag is properly labeled and closed and making sure we harvest from the right trees.
No experience needed!
Fauquier County. Near The Plains, Virginia
Meet at Roland Farm in The Plains 3:30 pm. If you haven’t been there before, meet at Chestnut Office at 3:00 pm.
