Friends of Trees needs your help to hundreds of plant native trees and shrubs following the removal of the Balm Grove Dam (a few miles Northwest of Forest Grove). This planting is in partnership with Clean Water Services, who has been working with Tree for All partners to remove this dam and improve fish passage in Gales Creek since 2016.
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 planting guidance, as well as breakfast snacks and coffee/tea/hot chocolate -- all you need to do is show up dressed for the weather wearing sturdy shoes or boots, and be ready to have fun!
