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!**
