Deloraine Community Orchard

On June 6, 2005 there were 11 students from the Deloraine Collegiate grade 8 class who assisted the TMCD and Town of Deloraine in planting the Deloraine Orchard.  A total of 483 fruit bearing trees were planted through a grant provided by the Manitoba Hydro Forest Enhancement Program.  The trees included Nanking, Mongolian and Plum Cherry trees, Saskatoon, Highbush Cranberry and a variety of apple trees.  There will also be several more rows added next spring, once the area is prepared.  The trees from PFRA will include buffaloberry, chokecherry, green ash, lilac and dogwood.
