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 volunteers. The first 50 volunteers to pick 3 bags of apples will also receive a free t-shirt courtesy of DNC.
Tuesday, August 30, 2005 at Curry Village Apple Orchard from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Shuttle Bus Stop #14
Wednesday, August 31, 2005 at Lamon's (Valley Stables) Apple Orchard from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Shuttle Bus Stop #18
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 Monday, August 29th at 12 noon to Tuesday, August 30th at 5 p.m. Please check with your supervisor before attending. Just an hour of your time will be greatly appreciated!
Apples not taken home by employees and visitors will be donated to the Hornitos Catahoula Ranch.
