Calling all East Portland weekend warriors

**Special Alert: Friends of Trees needs your backbone and green initiative this Saturday**

Tree planting volunteers are needed Saturday Jan. 30 at the Centennial, Hazelwood and Mill Park neighborhood planting.

Similar to the slide show from last month’s Neighborhood Trees planting in Southeast Portland, sturdy boots and mostly a willingness to get dirty in your community is needed. Friends of Trees and generous sponsors provide the rest: tools, coffee, doughnuts and more.

Please help us achieve our mission of increasing the Portland-metro area’s tree canopy. Meet at the Gethsemane Lutheran Church, 11560 SE Market St. Planting starts at 9 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m, so please  arrive a little early to register with your coffee.
