Join us for an Earth Day Work Party at Fruits of Diversity Orchard! We’ll be weeding, mulching, installing irrigation, and cutting back blackberries to keep this beautiful space thriving!

No experience needed-just bring gloves, any tools you like to use, and a water bottle! We will have extra gloves and tools there!

We'll be headed to Oakshire Brewery after the work party to celebrate with beers and pizza - join us if you can! Oakshire will be donating $1 per pint and 10% of food sales to PFTP that day!

About Portland Fruit Tree Project

Location:

5431 NE 20th Ave, PORTLAND, OR 97211, US

Mission Statement

PFTP's mission is to increase equitable access to healthful food and strengthen communities by empowering neighbors to share in the harvest and care of city-grown produce. We envision joyful communities that see every fruit tree as an abundant resource which contributes to a just food system and enhances the well-being of people, community networks, habitat, and our changing climate.

Description

Portland Fruit Tree Project is a grassroots organization that provides a community-based solution to a critical and growing need in Portland and beyond: access to healthy food and the benefits provided by trees including cleaner air, shade, and food. By empowering neighbors to share in the harvest and care of urban fruit trees, we are preventing waste, building community knowledge and resources, and creating sustainable ways to obtain healthy, locally-grown food.

We believe that fruit trees can be powerful tools to build a better Portland Metro area, and that our programming can be replicated in other regions.
