Join Friends of Trees to care for our newly planted trees in NE Portland!

Saturday, May 18, 2013 - 8:45am to 12:00pm
Friends of Trees
Address: 
Columbia Children's Arboretum
10040 NE 6th Dr
Portland, OR 97211
United States

Help our new trees and shrubs planted in January and March survive through 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!
