Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry

Newly planted trees need establishment care for the first three years after you plant them to survive and thrive in their new home. When should you start watering you tree? Does your tree need mulch and compost? How long should you leave support stakes on your tree? Urban Forestry staff will host a live presentation to demonstrate best care practices for young trees in Portland.

Please pre-register, Zoom details to participate will be sent by email.
The workshop will begin promptly at 12:00 pm with the presentation followed by a question and answer period.

Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry's mission is to manage and ensure Portland's urban forest infrastructure for current and future generations. Portland’s urban forest consists of 236,000 street trees, 1.2 million park trees, and innumerable private property trees. Urban Forestry is involved in managing or regulating all of these trees to differing degrees. Urban Forestry staff issue permits for planting, pruning, and removal of all public and some private trees and are on call 24/7 to respond to tree emergencies.
