Copley Community Orchard is on the unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We have partnered with the City of Vancouver (not Vancouver Parks) to work with community members to create an urban agriculture site on the former grounds of Richard and Marie Copley’s orchard. The site had been vacant for decades, and now, in ke

eping with the site’s history, our focus is perennial fruit culture as we connect to the land, food, and each other. The site includes an apple orchard, espaliered apple and pear trees, rare or unique fruit trees, berry bushes and fruiting shrubs. There is a focus on community celebration and education, as well as good old fashioned organic food production!

So much good energy at today’s Copley work party! 🌞

Volunteers pruned native shrubs and honeyberries, reused debris to build a habitat wall, and worked on the bat boxes. One young helper made a “bug snug” while another prepared soil for planting hazelnut trees.

Every hand made a difference. Thank you to everyone who came out to care for the orchard and its wild residents! 💚

As you may know, Copley Community Orchard relies on donations to sustain its operations since it is not a City of Vancouver park. The orchard’s funding comes from grants and contributions, making your support invaluable. If you are able to contribute, online donations are preferred, but we also accept cash for your convenience.

The suggested donation for the season is $20.00 to $50.00 or $5.00 per event.

By PayPal at https://copleycommunityorchard.com/fundraising/
By e-transfer sent to [email protected]
