Help inventory street trees in Concordia

By Angie DiSalvo

Can you identify common street trees? Do you want to improve your tree identification skills? Or perhaps simply learn more more about trees?

Join Portland’s Urban Forestry staff and volunteers and help collect important tree inventory data. Those with more advanced tree identification skills will be paired with other volunteers in small groups to measure and identify street trees on a few city blocks.

Saturday, Sept. 11, from 8:30 am to noon
Concordia University, George R. White Library
Corner of NE Liberty and NE 29th

This tree inventory work day is part of the Concordia neighborhood’s effort to examine the count, type, size, and health of the local street trees. Once completed, the inventory will help create the Concordia Neighborhood Stewardship Plan, which will include findings of current conditions and recommendations for achieving neighborhood street tree goals.

All Neighborhood Tree Stewards are encouraged to take part in the inventory and consider their neighborhood’s interest in a future street tree inventory and Neighborhood Stewardship Plan.

Register online here. Or to register by phone or email, contact Angie DiSalvo at 503-823-4484 or [email protected].
