Western Cascade Fruit Society

This Society is formed to bring together people who will promote the science, cultivation and pleasure of growing fruit bearing trees, shrubs, vines and berry plants in the home landscape for the purposes of providing the public with the knowledge and ability to cultivate their own fruit-bearing trees, shrubs, vines, and berries, encouraging and supporting formation of local chapters in geographical areas of Western Washington, disseminating information to its members and the general public through the use of fruit shows, orchard tours, meetings, seminars, workshops, publications and other forms of media, and giving financial and other support to fruit research organizations.
