This great video (below) produced by Portland General Electric captures the spirit of PGE’s Rose Festival float, “Right Tree, Right Place, Right On!”

Friends of Trees is honored that PGE, lead sponsor of our Plant It Portland! campaign, featured Friends of Trees and Plant It Portland! on its float for this year’s Starlight and Grand Floral parades.

You can read more about the Friends of Trees volunteers and staff and PGE volunteers and staff who helped with the Starlight Parade. You can also read about our preparations for the Rose Festival Parade.

PGE’s “Right Tree, Right Place, Right On!” float won the Grand Marshal’s Award for Whimsy. Congratulations, PGE and all the PGE and Friends of Trees volunteers who helped make the float successful.

Many fans of Garry Oak, our mascot, waved at Garry from the sidelines at the parade. Join Garry on Facebook. He’d love to be your friend!
