Restore Natural Areas: Plant Trees w/ Friends of Trees (age 6+) *Hands On*
Friends of Trees restores green spaces and natural areas in the Portland metro region by planting native trees and shrubs. Help enhance wildlife habitat, improve water quality, and beautify these public places by planting with us this season!
We'll provide gloves, tools, skilled guidance - as well as free coffee and breakfast treats. All we ask is that you dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy shoes or boots. This is a great project for families! Kids from age 6 and older are welcome to join in the fun if accompanied by an adult. Please volunteer with us to make a difference in the community and meet other great people while you're at it!
