Kick off your Saturday by making a difference planting hundreds of native trees and shrubs along Fanno Creek at Brown Nature Area in Tigard! Fanno Creek is an urban stream that begins in Portland’s SW hills and meanders 15 miles through neighborhoods in Portland, Beaverton, Tigard and Durham. Let's take care of our trees and waterways so they can take care of us!
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!
How do I register? Visit the 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.
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 youth waiver form ( friendsoftrees.org/youthwaiver) signed by their parent/guardian.
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!
