Friends of Trees is excited to partner with the Portland Timbers in a new way this year as we continue to be a Timbers Pillar Partner.

Beginning on Sunday, January 8, the Timbers and JELD-WEN Windows and Doors will host soccer celebrations dubbed Dribble Oregon in Klamath Falls, Eugene, Salem, and Bend.

Each Dribble Oregon event will include a youth soccer clinic, an autograph session with a Timbers player, a visit from Timbers mascot Timber Joey, and a local civic event. In Eugene-Springfield on January 14 and Salem on January 15, the civic event will be a tree planting organized by Friends of Trees with local urban forestry agencies.

Times for all of the events are subject to change, so please check the Timbers’ web site for updates to the Dribble Oregon schedule.
