Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry

Urban Forestry is working with Vernon Elementary to plant 16 trees on their school grounds.
For this project, we are looking for adult volunteers* to help students to plant those trees!

Work will include:
-Setting out tools
-Watching a demonstration on how to properly plant a tree
-Leading elementary students in the tree planting process.
-Helping students dig their hole, lift their tree, and talking them through the steps for tree planting.
-Staking trees
-Cleaning up tools

Details:
-We will work rain or shine, so be sure to dress for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes.
-Snacks and water will be provided to volunteers. Please bring a reusable water bottle.
-Urban Forestry will have gloves and all the tools needed.

*This event is only for adults.
*Volunteers working this event need to have a background check on file with Portland Parks & Recreation. If you aren't sure if you have a background check on file or need to fill out the form, please contact Molly at molly.wilson@portlandoregon.gov.
If you are a Neighborhood Tree Steward or you have planted with us at schools in the past, you likely already have a background check on file.
