WildSafeBC Fruit Gleaning Program in Quesnel

Courtesy of the City of Quesnel:

Quesnel's WildsafeBC program is partnering with other local volunteer groups and businesses to carry out a Fruit Gleaning Program within the City to remove all surplus fruit or fruit that residents are unable to deal with due to age or infirmity. "Fruit gleaning" relates to the removal of all kinds of fruit to prevent the attraction of wildlife (bears, deer, etc.), prevent property damage, lessen human safety concerns and protect wildlife welfare.

Fruit that is of good enough quality for food use would be separated and distributed to local aid organizations. The remainder would be disposed of to local agricultural operations or safely disposed of at the local landfill.

City residents with surplus fruit can contact WildsafeBC at 250- 992-5743 or by email at Quesnel@wildsafebc.com to arrange for disposal of surplus fruit.
