One bike planting down, two more coming soon

The Center, Kerns, Laurelhurst and Sunnyside planting Saturday is becoming known as the Plant by Bike event of the year in Portland.

Of the 125 large stock trees that were planted, 36 were planted via three bike crews (see planting photos on Flickr).

There are two more Plant by Bike events this season, Feb. 20 in Piedmont and Woodlawn, and March 6 in Montavilla and Mt. Tabor. Contact these crew leaders if you’re interested in joining a bike planting crew: Gregg Lavender (Feb. 20) [email protected]; Peter Nierengarten (March 6) [email protected].

Special thanks to staffer Brighton West for his video snippet—look for his full Filmed by Bike submission soon.
