Martha Kelly of Waterford and her fellow members of Friends of Harkness prune apple trees Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford. The group started pruning the trees in middle of February and need to finish before the trees start to grow leaves and blossom. Later in the year they will thin out the apples so other apples will be bigger and healthier. The group gathers on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and is looking to add a time when working people are available. (Dana Jensen/The Day) Buy Photo Reprints
