Join Friends of Trees to prune young street trees in Eugene! These fun events help you learn pruning skills, get outside, and meet new people. No specific training is needed. All tools are provided.  

At each event, we'll have a brief demonstration of proper pruning technique, then break into small teams and pair new volunteers with experienced pruners to prune street trees for structure, clearance, and health. We will have both regularly scheduled Saturday events, and also small groups that go out to prune on both weekend and weekday mornings and afternoons.

Registration required. Space is limited so please register soon!

Big thanks to our sponsors at Sperry Tree Care!

We can't wait to see you out there!

The family-friendly, free event offers live music, tree care workshops, Vancouver Land Bridge tours, kids’ hands-on arts and crafts, and food for purchase. The popular free apple pressing also returns to the event, and the public is encouraged to bring clean apples and containers to participate.

Tree and Urban Nature Walk Series, August-October 2018: Eugene’s Urban Nature

Friends of Trees will lead three tree walks from the Eugene REI store in late summer and fall 2018. At each walk, arborist Erik Burke will identify trees and plants, look for exceptional trees and talk about different issues in urban ecology. At the first walk we'll follow the Willamette River. The 2nd walk will travel up and down Skinner Butte. At the 3rd walk, we will go hunting for fall color in downtown and Whiteaker neighborhoods.

Tuesday, October 2nd, 5-6:30pm. This walk will look at a variety of special trees in Eugene downtown and Whiteaker neighborhoods during the peak of fall color. We'll look at some especially large trees in the floodplain neighborhoods, and some new trees being trialed for climate change that have spectacular fall color.

Meet us at REI, 306 Lawrence St in Eugene by 5pm on Tuesday, October 2nd. This event is free and open to the public.

Hope to see you there!
