SUMMARY:Apple Picking
DESCRIPTION:Pick your Pleasure – U-Pick Orchards\n \nFall is here! 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. Visitors are permitted to pick up to 1 bushel per family. There is no permission needed as long as you are on park property.  \nPlease do not climb the trees\, or pick fruit that is not ripe.  \nThe farms listed below have remnant apple trees that you may pick from.  Use this map to locate these. The orange dot on the map means these farms are in park ownership. Blue dots indicate private ownership\, please respect private property. \nPlease note\, some of these apples are extremely small. \n\nThoreson Farm\nBrunson Barn\nKelderhouse Farm (including newly transplanted trees from the nursery)\nBurfiend Barn\nMiller Barn\nLawr Farm\nPeter Burfiend Farm\nOle Olsen Farm\n\nOrchard Preservation Project \nApple orchards in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore were planted on the landscape in the 1800s as settlers homesteaded their properties.  These have been documented thanks to park staff\, partners and volunteers. 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.

SUMMARY:Trees Of Change: How Pioneers Transformed the Port Oneida Woods
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO REGISTER \n\n\nHike the forests of Port Oneida and explore how early settlers transformed the landscape from native forests into fields\, pastures\, and homesteads—and how the forest continued to shape daily life. European settlement involved taking over landscapes that had already been actively shaped and managed by Indigenous communities for hundreds of years. 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
