- Save Your Extra Fruit! The Portland Fruit Tree Project is connecting with North Tabor neighbors this harvest season. If you have an overabundant fruit tree, want to volunteer with a backyard harvest, or are interested in a fall cider press party, they’d love to hear from you! Their work helps keep local fruit out of waste streams and distributes fresh produce through community partners. Learn more and get involved this harvest season. https://portlandfruit.org/
