Friends of Trees thanks the more than 300 volunteers who planted more than 800 trees and native plants with us on January 28.

As they did last year, David Douglas High School ESL students came out in force to plant trees in the Centennial, Hazelwood, and Mill Park neighborhoods. Portland City Commissioner Amanda Fritz joined the students. (She also plants trees with Friends of Trees each year.)

Below is a slide show of photos taken by David Douglas High School’s Anne Downing and Friends of Trees’ Gustavo Rojas.

Thank you to last weekend’s planting partners, who made our January 28 plantings possible: Portland Bureau of Environmental Services and the cities of Tualatin and Wilsonville.

Coming up? Plantings tomorrow in Eugene, Beaverton, Portland, and Tigard. We need and welcome planters of all ages and abilities. Please join us!
