2020 Heritage Orchard Conference

Join Apple Detectives John Bunker and David Benscoter in the first of a series of webinars on orcharding this Wednesday, August 19 from 1-2:30 EDT.  The webinars are part of The Heritage Orchard Conference established by the University of Idaho’s Sandpoint Organic Agriculture Center. The conference attracts a diverse group of heritage tree fruit enthusiasts for presentations ranging from heritage fruit exploration to apple identification.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s conference will be a free monthly webinar series. The series will begin in August 2020 and continue through April 2021, with topics ranging from restoration pruning to DNA profiling of varieties. Tune into the Zoom webinars by registering today. You will be able to submit questions through our moderator to be directed to the speaker during the Q&A session at the end of the presentation. All webinars will be recorded and available for viewing following the live presentations.
