Grey to Green staff being hired

The City of Portland’s Grey to Green Urban Tree Canopy Program is looking for energetic and outgoing individuals to join their motivated team. They are developing innovative ways to grow and document Portland’s urban forest and to educate citizens about the importance of planting trees.

Outreach staff are the public face of the Grey to Green effort, providing extensive face‐to‐face and telephone contact with residents as we offer them new tree‐planting opportunities.

Ideal candidates will be personable, creative and adaptable, comfortable with door‐to‐door canvassing, community outreach and education, and enthusiastic about planting trees as a means of improving Portland’s environment. This announcement will be used to fill up to ten part‐time, summer positions.
