Planting trees in your yard or parking strip will help improve the quality of life for you and your neighbors for generations to come. Friends of Trees is already planning for the 2010-2011 planting season, but we need your help! In order to surpass last year’s record season and attain our goal of planting 4,500 low-cost street and yard trees in Portland next year, we need Neighborhood Coordinators who can volunteer their time to help organize these neighborhood plantings. We still need a Neighborhood Coordinator, or co-coordinators, for many Portland neighborhoods.
