FRUIT TREE 101 PROGRAM ($20,283) FTPFs Fruit Tree 101 program donates and plants fruit tree orchards at public schools of all levels, around the world, to provide generations of students and teachers with healthy nutrition options and environmental education opportunities. Students and teachers participate in plantings with FTPF administering a curriculum focused on sustainability and healthy nutrition, thereby inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards. Many schools use the orchards as outdoor classrooms to teach concepts in botany and ecology. One school district official wrote that they expect the orchards to last for decades, giving our students the opportunity to receive environmental education that would not otherwise be available to them. The orchards also provide a source of produce for improved nutrition in school lunch programs.
