Help us plant a few trees and care for ones previously planted along the I-205 Multi-Use Path to help them make it through the warm summer months! Please join us at 8:45am to be registered and assigned to a crew. This event will start promptly at 9:00am. We provide breakfast snacks and hot chocolate/coffee, as well as gloves, tools and guidance. Please come dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy shoes and get ready to have fun!

We are very excited to continue reforesting the transportation corridor that runs from the Columbia River in the North to the City of Gladstone in the south. Metro, ODOT, BES and EMSWCD are partnering with Friends of Trees to increase livability, habitat and air quality along the I-205 corridor.

RSVPs are not required. Please contact Andy or Jenny at (503) 595-0213 if you have any questions or need more information. Thanks for considering joining us!

Help our trees and shrubs planted in March survive their first summer season! As a volunteer you'll learn native plant identification and care techniques with Friends of Trees staffers and volunteers, as well as help maintain the new native plants through mulching recently planted trees and shrubs. Without these efforts these newly planted natives would have a lower survival rate through their first season. Meet great new people, learn tree skills, and make a difference in just a few hours!

At Friends of Trees we always provide breakfast snacks and hot chocolate/coffee for all of our volunteers. Please arrive by 8:45am dressed for the weather and wearing boots or sturdy shoes. We'll be done with our activities by 12:00pm. We also provide the tools, gloves, and trained guidance. Thank you for considering this important and fun work!
