Let's plant trees together in the Cedar Mill and Cedar Hills neighborhoods! Go to (https://friendsoftrees.org/get-a-tree/) to purchase a tree for your household. Dozens of large (6-10' tall) trees will be ready for planting in their new homes, and your help is what makes this community planting possible!
Please arrive by 8:45am to sign-in and be assigned a planting crew. The planting starts at 9:00am. We provide gloves, tools, and guidance, as well as light breakfast snacks and coffee/tea/hot chocolate. We ask that all volunteers dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes/boots you don't mind getting dirty, and be ready to have fun!
How do I register? Visit the Friends of Trees event calendar (https://friendsoftrees.org/event-calendar/), click on this event, and fill out the quick registration form. Groups and individuals welcome! If your group is more than 5 people, please know you will be assigned to different planting crews.
Have a pickup truck? We need your help getting these young trees to their planting sites a few blocks away from the central staging site. Sign up by going to our event calendar (https://friendsoftrees.org/event-calendar/), click on this event, and fill out the form labeled "please sign here" if you're able to help out in this key role.
Under age 18? We request that youth 15 and under volunteer with a parent/guardian. Youth 16 and older can volunteer on their own and will need to hand us a signed youth waiver form by their parent/guardian. Find the youth waiver form here: https://friendsoftrees.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Youth_Waiver_Friends_of_Trees.pdf
Private transportation: You will travel from the meeting location to a few planting sites in the nearby neighborhood (up to several miles). We recommend private transportation (bike or vehicle), but there may be an option to carpool if others in your small planting crew are also comfortable with this.
Questions? Please check out our Volunteer FAQ webpage (https://friendsoftrees.org/volunteer-faq/). Our team is also happy to assist! You can reach Cece and Jenny at volunteer@friendsoftrees.org, 503-595-0213. We look forward to planting together soon!
