This training is now full and closed - thank you for your interest!  We'll update our online calendar in late summer '21 with our Fall planting events and any other volunteer opportunities.

==========
Summer Inspectors learn how to properly assess the health of newly-planted street and yard trees. The total time commitment is about 12 hours over four months, including this required 3.5 hour online training.  Tree inspection routes are available in Washington (Vancouver) and Oregon (Gresham; Portland: N, NE, SE, E; Milwaukie, Oregon City, and Wilsonville).

Any questions? Please don't hesitate to be in touch with Carey, Pablo, or Jenny in our Volunteer & Outreach Program: Volunteer@FriendsofTrees.org .  We hope to work with you soon!

This event is now full and closed.  Thank you for helping care for trees during the month of May, please check back in the Fall of 2021 for new planting opportunities! ==============

Your help is needed to mulch hundreds of native trees and shrubs that were planted this past winter at this amazing park in East County! We may also take out some weedy introduced plants, if time allows. Note: there will be no tree-planting at this event, and this is physically-demanding work (great for folks looking for a work out!).  Our Tree Care events help to ensure the highest level of plant survival through the PNW dry summer months ahead.

Please arrive by 9:45am to find our tent and sign-in, Tree Care activities start promptly at 10:00am. We provide gloves, tools, and guidance, so all you need to do is show up dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy shoes or boots (no sandals of any kind, please!) and be ready to have fun!

What about Covid-19? The safety of volunteers and staff is our number one priority at Friends of Trees. We are requiring that all people at our events bring and wear a face mask, respect 6' or more of distance from others not in their own household, and follow a few other protocols, outlined on our Volunteer Frequently-Asked-Questions webpage.  This event will have 15-25 people total.

Under age 18? We request that youth 15 and under volunteer with a parent/guardian.  Youth 16 and older can volunteer on their own and will need to include their parent/guardian's contact information when they register online.

Questions?  Please check out our Volunteer FAQ webpage.  Our team is also happy to assist!  You can reach Jenny, Pablo, and Carey at volunteer@friendsoftrees.org We look forward to seeing you out there!

Friends of Trees continues to follow the guidelines and recommendations made by the CDC and Oregon Health Authority. If at any point we feel it is not safe to host events, we will cancel them and notify any volunteers who are pre-registered.
