Oregonian ad features longtime supporter Joey Pope

By Emma Gray

Check out the O! section in today’s Oregonian for a wonderful testimonial by longtime Gift Trees program supporter Joey Pope. For well over a decade, Joey has thoughtfully marked loved ones’ marriages, births and other milestones by purchasing Gift Trees through Friends of Trees.

Her gifts honor her recipients and help us restore a forest in our city. What a perfect combination!

Gift Trees make wonderful holiday gifts. Read more about Gift Trees in this fun article in the Sustainable Life section of the Portland Tribune.

One of the most unique aspects of the Gift Trees program is that tree purchasers and recipients are invited to plant the trees at one of two invitation-only Gift Trees plantings. The first Gift Trees planting of the current planting season is underway today, and all holiday Gift Tree purchasers and recipients will be invited to the second planting of our 2010-11 season, in March.
