@tualatinriverkeepers took Friends of Trees staff

@tualatinriverkeepers took Friends of Trees staff out for a paddle! Every year, we have Green Space planting events in the Tualatin River watershed, so it was really cool to get out on the river itself.
🌲
The Tualatin's 80 miles meander through forests, neighborhoods, agricultural and urban areas. Efforts from volunteers and organizations like TRK and @cleanwaternews have made it a truly special place where people can paddle and wildlife can thrive.
🌲
Join us for a planting in Washington County, and you'll be helping to keep the Tualatin river healthy.

Let's talk about tree care.
🌱
When we plant #TheFriendsofTreesWay, we are working hard to ensure that trees and native plants survive to provide their full benefits for decades and beyond. One of the reasons that our planting model centers on community education and volunteerism is because it produces an extra layer of stewardship and protection for those trees and native plants.

Huge thanks to this year's summer inspectors! Your work goes a long way to making sure our trees survive and thrive.

Trees are one of the most cost-effective answers we have to the growing challenges of climate change. That's why it's so important to invest in post-planting care. Watering, pruning, and inspection, especially during a tree’s first three years, do wonders for setting that tree up to provide its full benefit over a decades-long life. #TheFriendsofTreesWay

Thanks to @willametteweek for reporting on the importance of tree care!

Last week, Friends of Trees had an all-staff retreat at South Beach State Park. The inspiring coastal setting was the perfect place to consider our strategic plan, discuss decision-making processes, and most importantly, connect with each other over sunsets and whales sightings. #TheFriendsofTreesWay

Our Deputy Director Megan is a deep well of tree knowledge, and she took the Friends of Trees staff on a tree identification walk in our neighborhood. With such incredible diversity, and with eager tree nerds on hand, it took us two hours to make it around the block!

It was so fun to collaborate on the Lush Bus as part of "Our Space of Possibilities" project. We created a garden inside the bus that highlighted relevant information about the relationship between climate change and trees in low-income areas of Portland. And folks could take plants home with them!

“Our Space of Possibilities” is a mobile cultural and social space conceived by Patricia Vázquez Gómez (@la_pati_vg) with @regionalarts. You can still visit it on Saturdays this month!
