The Vancouver Fruit Tree Project acknowledges that it operates on the traditional, unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. We are privileged to be here and are committed to the ongoing care of these lands with our host nations.
