Unique video chronicles North Portland planting

Besides being overtly appropriate for children, this fun video made by a longtime Neighborhood Coordinator chronicles the Jan. 30 planting in Arbor Lodge and Overlook.

Volunteers and staff planted 182 trees at the North Portland planting, which was sponsored by Adidas. Meanwhile, in the East Portland neighborhoods of Centennial, Hazelwood and Mill Park, 106 street and yard trees were planted.

And of course, these large trees are in addition to the 400 small trees and shrubs that were planted at the same time in Washington County by the Green Space Initiative program.

There are 25 remaining plantings this season—check out the online calendar and come see what all the fuss is about.

Thanks to Kria Lacher for sharing her planting movie. Can you spot any other familiar faces?
