Come flex your muscles with the Clark Public Utilities StreamTeam! Volunteers are needed to clear ground, auger holes and plant more than 30 varieties of trees to help restore our watershed. Equipment and light refreshments are provided. You will want to bring work and weather appropriate attire, gloves, and a reusable mug. Pre-registration is required.

Come make a difference with the StreamTeam and celebrate national Make a Difference Day! The StreamTeam will host the Make a Difference Day Celebration on Saturday, October 27th! We are excited to celebrate making a difference with you!

Not only will we come together as a community to celebrate the volunteer spirit but we will also plant approximately 700 native trees. Each tree will do its part to clean the air that we breathe, the water we drink and provide habitat for the animals we enjoy. The event will wrap up by 1pm. Be prepared to have a good time, get your hands dirty, meet new people, and make a difference in our community!

No experience is necessary. We will provide refreshments and all of the training and tools. We will plant trees and honor our Volunteer of the Year while spreading the volunteer spirit.

Friends of Trees is seeking new Neighborhood Trees (NT) crew leaders for the upcoming November-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 as well as receive a coveted Tree Team t-shirt and great food (a hallmark of all of our planting events). The NT program plants large (8-12') street and yard trees with homeowners and planting volunteers in eastside Portland neighborhoods, as well as in Vancouver and Beaverton.

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.

**Please note that this training is free but pre-registration is required. Please register HERE. Thank you!**
