Baker Fruit Tree Giveaway

Fifty trees were received by the Baker community. It was heartwarming to see the line of interested residents and help pick the tree they will plant at home. Many of the trees are now in historic orchards that need new trees, old ranch houses and on to the shared Nevada/Utah’s Border Inn.
