Cochrane residents have one last chance to donate excess fruit at the Community Tree Fruit Round-Up this Saturday.
The collection runs from noon to 3 p.m. at the Town Lagoon on Bow Bend Way.
Coordinated by Town Parks with the assistance of volunteers and Wildlife Coexistence Cochrane, the donations support local food programs, provide for wildlife care, and help reduce wildlife attractants in neighbourhoods.
RELATED STORY
A long wet spell followed by a long stretch of hot weather has produced a bumper crop of crabapples, pears, and other fruits on local trees.
This marks the final round-up of the season, giving residents a last opportunity to put their surplus fruit to good use.
