[CANUFNET] Urban orchards on public lands

[BDoff at thunderbay.ca]

Hi All,
As of late we have been looking into the pros and cons of urban orchards 
on public lands in Thunder Bay.  One of the biggest challenges we may 
face, however, are liabilities of wildlife (primarily bears) that may 
increase their frequency in urban areas as a result. 

Are there municipalities that have success stories on the topic? And more 
so, are there success stories from northern communities that deal with 
wildlife concerns frequently? 

Any thoughts are appreciated, whether negative or positive surrounding the 
issue.

Many thanks,
