Volunteers plant 39 street trees

Jennifer Killian, Eugene Volunteer Program Coordinator

In celebration of Earth Week, students from the University of Oregon joined together to participate in the university’s annual Day of Service, designed to engage students in community service projects around campus. Over 200 students participated in nine different service projects including working in parks to weed and mulch, collecting and removing litter, working on a community garden, and of course, planting trees with Friends of Trees!

Approximately 50 of those students joined an additional 40 Friends of Trees Staff and volunteer crew leaders, as well as a few community volunteers to plant 39 trees in the West University and South University neighborhoods!Read More
