tree planting

Interested in planting trees? Meeting some neat people? Obtaining a few service learning hours? Then please join us to plant trees!

We're planting along the SE Bush Greenway in an effort to make this greenway more pedestrian and bicycle friendly.  We'll be planting more than 60 8-12' neighborhood trees and could definitely use your help.

Please arrive by 8:45am at the East Portland Neighborhood Office to enjoy some hot coffee and breakfast treats and get assigned a crew. The planting starts promptly at 9:00am. Our crews will then disperse to plant trees at various nearby locations along Bush and other streets.  We provide gloves and tools, so all you need to do is show up dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy shoes or boots.

RSVPs are not required (although we do appreciate knowing about groups larger than 5 members). Please contact Andy or Jenny at (503) 595-0213 if you have any questions or need more information. We look forward to seeing you out there!

Volunteers of all ages and abilities are needed to help plant trees at Mirror Lake in Rooster Rock State Park. The park sits below Crown Point and the Vista House and offers fantastic wildlife viewing opportunities. Come on your own or share your passion for the outdoors with friends and family. We'll provide tools, light snacks and warm beverages. Pre-registration is required.

Ride your bike, hop the bus, stroll on down, or carpool to the Salmon Creek Greenway to enjoy free children's activities, wildlife shows, salmon tours and more!

Clark Public Utilities StreamTeam is putting on our 14th Annual Earth Day Celebration for community members in conjunction with Clark County Environmental Services. Come enjoy a local green space along scenic Salmon Creek while enjoying free activities for the entire family.

This event is in conjunction with a native tree planting and non-native plant removal. Planters and pullers must pre-register to participate. Registration is not required to attend the EcoFair.

MillMac traffic island, on the corner of E Mill Plain Blvd & MacArthur Dr, is an eyesore along this main city thoroughfare. Join Urban Forestry and Washington Conservation Corps in planting trees at this much-traveled intersection. Not only will new trees beautify this high-traffic area, but they will also help trap dangerous particulates from vehicles, sequester carbon, provide shade, and reduce stormwater flow along the road and into stormdrains.

Tools and training will be provided. Please RSVP to (360) 487-8308 or email Urban Forestry at urbanforestry@cityofvancouver.us.

Join the ranks of 200 Forest Park Conservancy volunteers helping to restore native habitat in and around Forest Park! Invasive plant removal and native tree planting will be followed by free food, drink and raffle prizes in NW Portland. Follow "Registration page" link below to learn more and reserve your spot.
