An Indigenous Tree Fruit Pruning Workshop was held in Menominee County on Feb. 9, 2026, running from 12:00–3:00 PM at a location listed only as "Mino …" on the University of Wisconsin Extension Indigenous Food Systems Resilience opportunities page. The entry appeared on the Extension page's events calendar alongside other opportunities aimed at Indigenous food-systems work.

The UW Extension listing provided the workshop title and the February 9 date and noon start time but identified the site only by the truncated name "Mino …" rather than a full street address, according to the events entry. That brief site reference leaves the specific venue within Menominee County unclear for anyone consulting the calendar after the event.

The entry appears on the Indigenous Food Systems Resilience opportunities page, a section of UW Extension programming that aggregates workshops and training events related to Indigenous food systems. The page's calendar format includes dates and times for events; the tree fruit pruning item showed the 12:00–3:00 PM window on Feb. 9, 2026 as the scheduled session for the Menominee County listing.

The workshop title indicates a practical focus on pruning tree fruit varieties, a skill set relevant to small orchards and backyard fruit production in Menominee County. The February timing aligns with conventional dormant-season pruning for apples and other temperate tree fruits, which supports longer-term orchard health and local food resilience. The appearance of this entry on the UW Extension Indigenous Food Systems calendar signals coordination between Extension programming and locally focused Indigenous food initiatives.

For residents and community organizers tracking Extension offerings, this listing underscores the value of checking the Indigenous Food Systems Resilience opportunities page for timed workshops; the tree fruit pruning item was posted there with the Feb. 9 date and the 12:00–3:00 PM time block. Because the site was listed as "Mino …" without a full address on the calendar entry, those seeking follow-up information or results from the Feb. 9 workshop will need to consult the UW Extension Indigenous Food Systems page for any additional notes or contact details posted after the event.
