The Lundberg Project is looking for volunteers to help plant native fruit species this spring. These species yield highly nutritious “superfruit” enriched with vitamins and minerals. Fruit from these plants will be donated to food distribution sites in the Ithaca area, and then given to individuals without access to healthy food. The native trees also serve as agents of carbon sequestration by storing carbon in their roots perennially, and we will study the role of these plants in mitigating the effects of climate change. Please email Griffin at gje28@cornell.edu to learn more.
