Program Speakers Bureau Seed the Future Portland Park blocks 1990's About Friend of Trees Friends of Trees brings neighbors together for tree planting and tree care projects along city streets, in urban natural areas and on school grounds. Friends of Trees distributes information on how to protect our urban trees and provides educational information for children and adults. In addition, Friends of Trees makes the planting of trees in yards affordable through our branching out program.
Volunteers are always welcome to help plant trees, work in the office or organize events.
Friends of Trees is a non profit organization that depends upon support from businesses, foundations, public agencies and individuals. Members help Friends of Trees build stronger communities and restore our urban forest. Local government agencies no longer have the money to plant the new trees we need for a livable city. Through its grassroots efforts, Friends of Trees forms partnerships and recruits and trains volunteers to keep our urban forest flourishing. In the late 1800's Portland citizens planted many of the trees that shade our streets today.
