Glad to be part of this tree planting last weekend with my boys. The weather was wonderful, shining down as volunteers, civic leaders, and families gathered to remember lives lost in the 2021 heat dome event, and to plant 72 trees in Nadaka park and at homes in surrounding East Portland communities. https://lnkd.in/gweX_8jU Volunteering at a planting with Friends of Trees is a great experience, highly recommend. You'll hear me talk more about trees nowadays, as I have joined the board to help with more than my shovel abilities. #portlandoregon #climatechange #friendsoftrees #plantsomething #buildingcommunity #volunteering #decarbonization

Thanks to our friends at STRAiGHTAWAY Cocktails for creating a cocktail benefiting yours truly to plant trees & grow community.

Let's talk about tree care. 🌳 When we plant #TheFriendsofTreesWay, we are working hard to ensure that trees and native plants survive to provide their full benefits for decades and beyond. One of the reasons that our planting model centers on community education and volunteerism is because it produces an extra layer of stewardship and protection for those trees and native plants. 🌳 Learn more about how we set trees up for a long, impactful life: https://lnkd.in/ghqJ8HF5
