All visitors, employees, and residents are invited to pick apples to help keep bears wild! DNC will again provide their famous Bear Scat Muffins free to hardworking volunteers. Wednesday, August 10th, 2011 at Curry Village Apple Orchard from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and Lamon's (Valley Stables) Apple Orchard from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. These ripe apples attract bears to developed areas and alter their natural diets. By removing the apples, bears will return to natural food sources found throughout the park and not become exposed to humans and their food. Parking will not be allowed in the Curry Village Orchard Lot from Wednesday, August 10th from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Even an hour of your time will be greatly appreciated. Apples not taken home by employees and visitors will be donated to Fouch Farms in Mariposa.
