At this fun and fast-paced event we will be giving away about 300 trees to Portlanders!
Folks have pre-registered for trees. The event is set up as a drive-thru format where the recipient stays in their car until it is time to load up the trees.

-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 and lunch if you will need it.

High impact work includes:
Loading Mulch and Trees
-Loading and unloading tools and event materials
-Shoveling mulch into mulch buckets
-Loading trees and mulch into vehicles

Finding Rootflares
-Work requires digging in soil, bending, crouching and lifting.
-Sharp tools, like soil knives and pruners, will be used.

The event will be located at the nursery on SE Lincoln Street just west of Mt Tabor Community Garden.
