Crew Leader Training with Friends of Trees!

Friends of Trees is seeking new crew leaders for the upcoming October-April planting season. Being a crew leader is a great way to meet people, develop valuable leadership skills and, of course, learn how to plant trees the right way. You'll also get to wear a Friends of Trees vest at weekend plantings and receive the respect and admiration of the volunteers on your crew, as well as receive a coveted Tree Team t-shirt and great food (a hallmark of all of our planting events). Almost 400 active volunteer crew leaders work with Friends of Trees currently.

Crew leaders are one of our most important volunteer roles as they help teach our volunteers how to plant trees and work together as a team. During our planting season, each crew leader commits to guiding small groups of planters at four Saturday morning plantings. We have over 70 public planting events scheduled this season. Join this fun and energetic team by signing up for a required one-day training. The trainings are popular and space fills quickly, so register soon. This year's trainings are generously sponsored by KBOO Community Radio.

Green Space Initiative Training Saturday, Oct. 27 (9 a.m.-3 p.m.) - NW Portland Register HERE for this training.
