A sweet time in the national lakeshore. You are welcome to explore over a dozen remnant orchards that produce at least 75 heirloom apple varieties.

Over 20 years ago the park’s Chief of Interpretation initiated the effort to find\, map\, and identify these antique varieties. \nSleeping Bear’s Historic Architect along with the Park’s Volunteer Coordinator have spearheaded the journey of preserving these varieties with the help of Leelanau Conservation District orchardist Tom Adams\, Port Oneida descendant Jim Kelderhouse\, and Sleeping Bear Forever whose role has been to fund the supplies for grafting\, planting supplies\, and fencing and assist with pruning. Park pruning workshops are held the first Friday of May. To sign up email Kimberly_Mann@nps.gov. To help fund the preservation\, donate here.

We’ll discuss the transition from forests to farming\, the challenges of working with poor\, sandy soils\, and the plants settlers brought with them. Learn how forests provided essential materials for cabins\, barns\, root cellars\, fences\, fuel\, and tools\, as well as seasonal sources of income such as maple sugaring and other woodland resources.  Early farm families brought plants from the places they migrated from.  We’ll see evidence of these plants changed the landscape.\n\nHike Details:\nJoin us for a scenic hike along the Bay View Trail starting at the historic Port Oneida Schoolhouse.  Climb through the red pine plantation while discovering how early settler plantings helped shape the forest we see today. Along the way\, we’ll pause to explore the stories and history behind the trees\, landscape\, and people who helped shape Port Oneida. We’ll make our way to the lookout for beautiful views\, then complete the loop or retrace our steps back to the parking area. Come ready to walk\, learn\, and enjoy the landscape!\nPlease park in the parking lot across from the schoolhouse/behind the Kelderhouse\nMake sure to keep an eye on the weather and dress accordingly!\nWalking poles and water would be a suggestion to bring as well.\nIf raining\, we will reschedule the hike to Sunday\, October 11th.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Fee: $15 URL:https://phsb.org/event/trees-of-change-how-pioneers-transformed-the-port-oneida-woods/ LOCATION:Port Oneida Heritage Center\, 3164 W.
