Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry

Urban Forestry is working with St. Clare School to plant 25 trees on their school grounds at 1807 SW Freeman St, Portland, OR 97219.
For this project, we are looking for adult volunteers* to help students to plant 15 of 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 Allison at allison.osullivan@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.
