Not Far From The Tree chosen for the Tides Top Ten!

Dec 8th, 2011 by Not Far From The Tree

Tides Canada announced their roster of top ten social and environmental initiatives for 2011 this week. And, despite being a small project that is based in one city, Not Far From The Tree was honoured with this award among excellent projects from coast to coast to coast.

Among other things, Not Far From The Tree was chosen “for adding flavour to Toronto and harvesting fruit for the urban community!

Check out all of the projects selected for this honour, activating incredible work across Canada:

Thank you so much to all of our donors who have made the 2011 season possible. It’s amazing to think of all the recognition that Not Far From The Tree has received in such a short time – and the whole entire team, including volunteers, fruit tree owners, and donors, can share pride in this success.

Here’s looking forward to next year when we can proudly celebrate our fifth season!
