Feel Good. Do Good. Plant Trees.
VOLUNTEER | DONATE
Every year, thousands of volunteers come together to plant trees at a Friends of Trees event. Together, we’ve planted more than 1 million trees and native plants since 1989. Out of the millions of reasons people come out, one stands out: it feels good.
It feels good to get outside, meet new people, and work together to make your neighborhood a greener place, full of trees and native plants that fight climate change, cool our homes, clean our air and water, and so much more. Come do good with us starting in October!
“I love spending my Saturdays getting to know new people and picking up on their good vibes! I absolutely love every Saturday that I spend planting trees.” -Hailey, volunteer.
YOU CAN BE A PART OF THIS
Our 37th planting season has begun, and we’d love to see you at a planting event! We plant every Saturday, October through April, and it’s incredible to see what happens when you get dozens of volunteers together working toward a common goal. For most, volunteering with us just means showing up on a Saturday morning with warm layers and a warm spirit, ready to plant trees or native plants alongside friends old and new.

“It’s planting trees. How much better does it get? Giving back to the planet is all sorts of good.” -Devin, volunteer
Many of you have heard by now the exciting news that Friends of Trees has a new partnership with the City of Portland, planting trees in neighborhoods that need trees most. Learn more about the partnership and what Portland neighborhoods we’re planting in.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
It also feels good to support this work, and you’ll be doing good by making a donation. Your support will help us meet our goal of raising $40,000 this October, getting our 37th planting season off to a strong start, a season filled with partnerships, students, field trips, and, of course, trees. Donations from friends like you are the only reason we are able to plant so many trees, with so many volunteers, year after year—thank you for being a part of this!
“The sense of community and happiness I get from a Saturday planting event lasts the whole week!” -Krista, volunteer
