Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington – Bruce Gregory, local farmer and longtime volunteer with the US Aid Farmer to Farmer Volunteer program, will speak on Monday evening, January 4, 2016, at 7pm at the San Juan Library. The San Juan Island Trails Committee, in partnership with the San Juan Library continues its program of presenting journeys on Land, Air, Sea and Space, exploring our world via the experiences of our fellow Islanders.
Bruce just returned from his November 2015 tour of volunteer duty in Tajikistan, working with thirteen districts of the Khatlon Province. Bruce had been asked to come back for a second year with the farmers to assist in identifying and implementing improvements in their orchard management practices; his talk on Monday night will concern the inroads Bruce created with these farmers, and the experience of his journey to this former Soviet country.
