Love Each Other and the Earth

This Valentine's Day give your sweetheart a green gift you can both appreciate over the years. Gift Trees are planted in the Collins Sanctuary in Forest Park during one of two annual Gift Trees plantings. All who give or receive Gift Trees for Valentine’s Day this year will be invited to the next planting in the Collins Sanctuary on March 28.

If you want to plant on Valentine's weekend, join us at either our Green Space or Neighborhood Trees planting on February 13. Friends of Trees' new mascot tree will offer valentines to volunteers at the Boise, Eliot, Humboldt and King planting, which begins at Friends of Trees' office.

Help Us Green the I-205 Multi-Use Path

Our next planting to green the I-205 Multi-Use Path is Feb. 20 in the Lents neighborhood. The three-year greening project involves planting thousands of trees along a well-traveled, highly visible 15-mile corridor from the Columbia River south to Gladstone. Project partners include the Oregon Department of Transportation, Metro and many others.

In addition to enhancing the lives of all who use or live near the path, the project has created 16 green jobs for underserved and minority youth. Join us!
