Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry

Location: Mt Olivet Baptist Church, 8501 N Chatauqua Blvd, Portsmouth
Time: 8:00am – 12:00pm

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.
