Harvest Private Trees


Have you ever seen a fruit tree in someone's yard go nearly all to waste rotting on the ground? Combine that with the wish that you had a fruit tree to harvest of your own? Well...


This page offers two resources:

1) A Tract as Adaptable Form Letter to a homeowner with excess fruit. This letter was originally created as a tract for Lisa Anne Auerbach's Tract House.

The Tract House is a "spread-the-word" project debuting at the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore, June and July, 2008. As part of the "Cottage Industries" exhibition, The Tract House will be distributing free tracts to the public. This fall it is making a pit-stop at Printed Matter in MYC.

2) Links to the many other projects around who are implementing similar lines of thought. E-Mail us more links!

2) LInks to Projects doing something in a larger and more organized way:

FUTURE:::

Afloat are some ideas for May Day 2009. One idea on the table is to collect images from the May1, 2006 street actions in Los Angeles, creating 1st, a web archive, and then a newsprinted paper of the images to be distributed on a Still Moving Reenactment float re-routing the original action. For more info on this fast developing plan email us, or let us know you have images you'd like to contribute.
