If you’re a Portland General Electric customer, and you switch to the PGE Paperless Bill option between February 1 and March 15, 2012, you’ll reduce paper clutter, simplify your life, and help plant trees!
PGE will donate $1 in your honor to Friends of Trees.
PGE will notify you by email each month when your bill is ready to view online. Past bills are stored online, too, for easy review. It’s simple, secure, and sustainable. You can also pay your bill online!
Sign up here for Paperless Bill.
Thank you for reducing paper use and supporting Friends of Trees. And thank you, PGE, for leaving a legacy with your generous support over the years.

David helping kids plant a tree (FOT file)
Friends of Trees will hold a memorial service for Neighborhood Trees Specialist David Odom at the World Forestry Center’s Miller Hall, 4033 SW Canyon Road, on Monday, January 30. The service is at 1:00 p.m. and will be followed by a memorial tree planting at 4:30 pm at Woodlawn Park, in the neighborhood where David lived.
David was preceded in death by his parents and survived by his brother John and two nephews–and by his dogs, Pepe and Frida.
David’s enthusiasm, intelligence, passion for trees, and sense of humor brought life to Friends of Trees’ office and to every planting that he led. He became Neighborhood Trees Specialist in September 2009, but his volunteer work with Friends of Trees—and his dedication to trees—began years before.
