A line of volunteers stretching 4 miles?!
Drumroll please… Friends of Trees’ final 2013-2014 volunteer tallies are in! And they’re amazing, thanks to YOU. Here are the numbers:
- 4,005 individuals volunteered last year for events in the Portland metro area, Vancouver and Salem.
- If all of these volunteers held hands, they’d stretch for nearly 4 miles!
- 31,721 volunteer hours — that’s equivalent to more than 3 1/2 years devoted to trees!
- 7,433 instances of volunteering, including many wonderful repeat volunteers.
These totals include 1,884 people who volunteered during 48 Green Space Initiative events, and 2,050 people who volunteered during 40 Neighborhood Tree plantings.
“It’s a pleasure to crunch these numbers knowing all the stories they represent,” said Jenny Jenny Bedell-Stiles, Friends of Trees’ Volunteer & Outreach Manager. “Thanks to all of you who came out, and we’ll see you next season!”
