- Tree Pruning Workshop (Oregon City, OR)Robert Libke Public Safety Building, Linn Ave, Oregon City, OR 97045, USAJanuary 28, 2023
Did you know that proper structural pruning when a tree is young is an effective tool to help mitigate major tree failures from wind and ice storms? A few strategic pruning cuts can help a young tree live a long and health life in our urban environment!
Friends of Trees is offering a free young-tree structural pruning workshop. This completely outdoors workshop will teach you how to identify pruning needs, how and when to prune trees, how to use different tools (no chainsaws though!), and more.
"How do I register?" Fill out this quick registration form to save your place. Space limited.
"What can I expect from the workshop?" Participants will learn from and practice alongside FOT staff and experienced FOT pruning volunteers as they prune young trees near the public safety building (Rivercrest neighborhood). Participants will also receive educational materials that provide more information on basic pruning techniques, how structural pruning can be used to improve tree resiliency, and the importance of young tree care and a healthy urban forest. Make a difference in a few short hours by learning more about shade tree pruning, and practicing your new skills!
Event safety: Friends of Trees requires that all people at our events cancel if you are feeling unwell or have been exposed to someone who tested positive for Covid-19 within 3 days of the event.

- NE Portland neighborhood planting (Portland, OR)Site TBDApril 15, 2023
Let's plant trees together in NE Portland neighborhoods! This event is focused on five neighborhoods: Cully, Sumner, Parkrose, Argay, and Wilkes. Interested in receiving a tree? Click HERE to purchase a tree for your household. Dozens of large (6-10' tall) trees will be ready for planting in their new homes, and your help is what makes this community planting possible!
Please arrive by 8:45am to sign-in and be assigned a planting crew. The planting starts at 9:00am. We provide gloves, tools, and guidance, as well as light breakfast snacks and coffee/tea/hot chocolate. We ask that all volunteers dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes/boots you don't mind getting dirty, and be ready to have fun!
How do I register? Register by filling out this quick form. Groups and individuals welcome! If your group is more than 5 people, you may be assigned to different planting crews.
Under age 18? We request that youth 15 and under volunteer with a parent/guardian. Youth 16 and older can volunteer on their own and will need to hand us a youth waiver form signed by their parent/guardian.
Have a pickup truck? We need your help getting these young trees to their planting sites a few blocks away from the central staging site. Please sign up at www.friendsoftrees.org/truck if you're able to help us out in this key role.
Ride your bike? There will be a bike planting crew at this event. Learn more and sign-up for the bike crew: https://friendsoftrees.org/bike
Private transportation: You will travel from the meeting location to several planting sites in the nearby neighborhood (up to several miles). We recommend private transportation (bike or vehicle), but there may be an option to carpool if others in your small planting crew are also comfortable with this. Please note: FOT is requiring that anyone carpooling with others outside of their household wear a face mask, and crack the windows of the vehicle.
What about Covid-19? We require that all people at our events cancel if you are feeling unwell or have been exposed to someone who tested positive for Covid-19 within 3 days of the event.
