Access to fresh, healthy food is a critical issue. By empowering neighbors and other volunteers to share in the harvest and care of fruit trees, we prevent waste, build community knowledge and resources, and create sustainable, low cost ways to obtain healthy, organic, locally-grown fruit. Learn how two programs, large and small, are working to advance solutions.
Jason is an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist and a graduate of the Municipal Forestry Institute(MFI). Jason achieved his Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) in November 2014. In 2012, Jason was recognized with the “Utah Forestry Stewardship Achievement Award.” Jason was recently recognized by the Utah Community Forestry Council as “2015 Arborist of the Year.”
